![API Stability: Alpha](https://img.shields.io/badge/API%20Stability-Deprecated-red) # Noosphere CAR :warning: **noosphere-car** is **deprecated**. :warning: Please use [iroh-car](https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-car). [CAR file](https://ipld.io/specs/transport/car/) support for Noosphere. "CAR" stands for Content Addressable aRchives. A CAR file typically contains a serialized representation of an [IPLD DAG](https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/merkle-dag/#merkle-directed-acyclic-graphs-dags), though is general enough to contain arbitrary IPLD blocks. This crate was originally forked from the [Iroh](https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh) project, after it was archived as [Beetle](https://github.com/n0-computer/beetle).
