Have you ever wanted to tar something, but you didn't want to push it to your server first?
Tar-js is here to the rescue!!

Here's what it supports:
* Add strings to a tar archive as files
* Customizable uid, gid, mtime, and permissions (defaults work well though too)
* Add files in a directory heirarchy
