CAR archives are a very convenient part of the IFPS ecosystem, used to package up multiple CID-addressed resources

in one bundle, and AT Protocol PDSs rely on them for data exports. But end users, even technical ones, have found

## CAR Indexing from Ben Lau, Basile Simon, and Yurko Jaremko, Starling Lab

Another issue with CAR files is that they are as diverse as the data usecases and ergonomics of the IPFS ecosystem:
40-
while Filecoin uploading returns a CAR file, it sidesteps the UnixFS and thus most CAR tooling cannot reconstruct or
41-
navigate its contents. As these big-data archive files are not introspectable with UnixFS tools, the [Starling Lab](https://starlinglab.org/) team is open-sourcing
42-
some indexing tools they created internally which create a _private index_ of Filecoin uploads, rounding out a historic
43-
tooling/interop gap in the ecosystem.

Ben, Basile, and Yurko are developing a browser-based tool to help
46-
locate contents within [Filecoin CAR archives](https://spec.filecoin.io/systems/filecoin_files/piece/), without relying on
47-
public indexing services. This is a stepping stone to more general solutions for CAR indexing. It's definitely going to
48-
boost that part of the ecosystem!

Not all heroes wear capes, many of the cooler ones write tests. Tests are important in development, but they
53-
are particularly important when you're creating interoperable standards. The difference between a standard and
54-
a random piece of paper isn't that the standard was blessed by a special standards organization — there are
55-
plenty of worthlessly blessed pieces of paper out there — but rather that the standard has a comprehensive test
56-
suite passed by multiple independent production-quality implementations.
