Create and inspect random-access archives for Electron apps
@electron/asar is an archive format and Node.js tool for packaging Electron application files without compression while retaining random access. Its CLI can pack directories, list entries, extract a file, or unpack an archive, and the JavaScript API supports programmatic creation with optional transforms. The current command-line package requires Node.js 22.12 or newer, and the API does not provide built-in error handling.
