"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema" "$id": "https://nix.dev/manual/nix/latest/protocols/json/schema/store-path-v1.json" title: Store Path description: | A [store path](@docroot@/store/store-path.md) identifying a store object. This schema describes the JSON representation of store paths as used in various Nix JSON APIs. > **Warning** > > This JSON format is currently > [**experimental**](@docroot@/development/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-nix-command) > and subject to change. ## Format Store paths in JSON are represented as strings containing just the hash and name portion, without the store directory prefix. For example: `"g1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3q-foo.drv"` (If the store dir is `/nix/store`, then this corresponds to the path `/nix/store/g1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3q-foo.drv`.) ## Structure The format follows this pattern: `${digest}-${name}` - **hash**: Digest rendered in a custom variant of [Base32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32) (20 arbitrary bytes become 32 ASCII characters) - **name**: The package name and optional version/suffix information type: string pattern: "^[0123456789abcdfghijklmnpqrsvwxyz]{32}-.+$" minLength: 34
