## Output formats
### Archive Layout
All of ArchiveBox's state (including the index, snapshot data, and config file) is stored in a single folder called the "ArchiveBox data folder". All `archivebox` CLI commands must be run from inside this folder, and you first create it by running `archivebox init`.
The on-disk layout is optimized to be easy to browse by hand and durable long-term. The main index is a standard `index.sqlite3` database in the root of the data folder (it can also be exported as static JSON/HTML), and the archive snapshots are organized by date-added timestamp in the `./archive/` subfolder.
```bash
tree .
./
index.sqlite3
ArchiveBox.conf
archive/
...
1617687755/
index.html
index.json
screenshot.png
media/some_video.mp4
warc/1617687755.warc.gz
git/somerepo.git
...
```
Each snapshot subfolder `./archive/<timestamp>/` includes a static `index.json` and `index.html` describing its contents, and the snapshot extrator outputs are plain files within the folder.
<br/>
## Output formats
Inside each Snapshot folder, ArchiveBox save these different types of extractor outputs as plain files:
`./archive/<snapshot timestamp>/<output type>`
- **Index:** `index.html` & `index.json` HTML and JSON index files containing metadata and details
- **Title**, **Favicon**, **Headers** Response headers, site favicon, and parsed site title

# to browse your index statically without running the archivebox server, run:
archivebox list --html --with-headers > index.html # open index.html to view
archivebox list --json --with-headers > index.json
## Static Archive Exporting
You can export the main index to browse it statically without the Web UI.
*Note about large exports: These exports are not paginated, exporting many URLs or the entire archive at once may be slow. Use the filtering CLI flags on the `archivebox list` command to export only certain Snapshots or chunks at a time.*
```bash|
# archivebox list --help
archivebox list --html --with-headers > index.html # export to static html table
archivebox list --json --with-headers > index.json # export to static json blob
archivebox list --csv --with-headers > index.csv # export to static csv table
# (if using docker-compose, add the -T flag when piping)
docker-compose run -T archivebox list --csv > index.csv
```
The paths in the static exports are relative, make sure to keep them next to your `./archive` folder when backing them up or viewing them.
