Package-URL JSON Schemas

PURL Type Definition

The PURL Type Definition JSON Schema is the reference data model that is used to define PURL types in a structured way.

Each PURL type is specified in a JSON document that matches this schema. These JSON documents are then used to generate PURL type documentation and to support PURL libraries and tools so that they can more easily parse, build, and validate PURLs by type in a consistent and standardized manner across programming languages and technology stacks.

• Types: These tests are organized as one test file per PURL type. A PURL type test is required for adding or changing a purl type. The current set of PURL type test files are available on GitHub at: https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/tree/main/tests/types/
