Reference

Specifications for implementers and guides that explain them. This index is non-normative and does not introduce requirements.

Specifications

These specifications are frozen English originals. The notice at the top of each page links to its repository source.

DocumentContents
Host API v1HTTP endpoints, requests and responses
ConformanceRequirement language and conformance categories
VersioningVersions, identities and compatibility
Form DefinitionResource settings and behavior
Form PackageDistribution format and verification

InterfaceOperations, inputs, outputs and errors

Standard ServicesReferences to external protocols
Trust and revocationSignatures, trust policy and revocation data
Form familiesPublisher-owned namespaces
Portability boundaryForm semantics versus operating-environment decisions

The frozen files and digests are listed in v1.freeze.json. The site preserves original specification prose and rewrites its link targets for navigation. Repository files remain authoritative.

The specification overview, Host API index and schema identity index are navigation pages, not frozen specifications.

JSON Schema and verification data

The schema index links to JSON files at the paths named by their $id. Documents also need to satisfy the semantic constraints in the prose; structural schema validation alone is not sufficient.

Guides

Guides are available in Japanese and English. They explain the specifications without adding requirements.
