# Derivation JSON Format
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> This JSON format is currently
|
||||
> [**experimental**](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-nix-command)
|

|
||||
|
||||
The JSON serialization of a
|
||||
[derivations](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation)
|
||||
is a JSON object with the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
* `name`:
|
||||
The name of the derivation.
|
||||
This is used when calculating the store paths of the derivation's outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
* `outputs`:
|
||||
Information about the output paths of the derivation.
|
||||
This is a JSON object with one member per output, where the key is the output name and the value is a JSON object with these fields:
|
||||
|
||||
* `path`: The output path.
|
||||
|
||||
* `hashAlgo`:
|
||||
For fixed-output derivations, the hashing algorithm (e.g. `sha256`), optionally prefixed by `r:` if `hash` denotes a NAR hash rather than a flat file hash.
|
||||
|
||||
* `hash`:
|
||||
For fixed-output derivations, the expected content hash in base-16.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Example**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```json
|
||||
> "outputs": {
|
||||
> "out": {
|
||||
> "path": "/nix/store/2543j7c6jn75blc3drf4g5vhb1rhdq29-source",

|
||||
> }
|
||||
> }
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* `inputSrcs`:
|
||||
A list of store paths on which this derivation depends.
|
||||
|
||||
* `inputDrvs`:
|
||||
A JSON object specifying the derivations on which this derivation depends, and what outputs of those derivations.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Example**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```json

|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
specifies that this derivation depends on the `dev` output of `curl`, and the `out` output of `unzip`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `system`:
|
||||
The system type on which this derivation is to be built
|
||||
(e.g. `x86_64-linux`).
|
||||
|
||||
* `builder`:
|
||||
The absolute path of the program to be executed to run the build.
|
||||
Typically this is the `bash` shell
|
||||
(e.g. `/nix/store/r3j288vpmczbl500w6zz89gyfa4nr0b1-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash`).
|
||||
|
||||
* `args`:
|
||||
The command-line arguments passed to the `builder`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `env`:
|
||||
The environment passed to the `builder`.

# Store object info JSON format

|
||||
|
||||
Info about a [store object].
|
||||
|
||||
* `path`:
|
||||
|
||||
[Store path][store path] to the given store object.
|
||||
|
||||
* `narHash`:
|
||||
|
||||
Hash of the [file system object] part of the store object when serialized as a [Nix Archive](#gloss-nar).
|
||||
|
||||
* `narSize`:
|
||||
|
||||
Size of the [file system object] part of the store object when serialized as a [Nix Archive](#gloss-nar).
|
||||
|
||||
* `references`:
|
||||
|
||||
An array of [store paths][store path], possibly including this one.
|
||||
|
||||
* `ca` (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
Content address of this store object's file system object, used to compute its store path.
|
||||
|
||||
[store path]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path
|
||||
[file system object]: @docroot@/store/file-system-object.md
|
||||
|
||||
## Impure fields
|
||||
|
||||
These are not intrinsic properties of the store object.
|
||||
In other words, the same store object residing in different store could have different values for these properties.
|
||||
|
||||
* `deriver` (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
The path to the [derivation] from which this store object is produced.
|
||||
|
||||
[derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
|
||||
|
||||
* `registrationTime` (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
When this derivation was added to the store.
|
||||
|
||||
* `ultimate` (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
Whether this store object is trusted because we built it ourselves, rather than substituted a build product from elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
* `signatures` (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
Signatures claiming that this store object is what it claims to be.
|
||||
Not relevant for [content-addressed] store objects,
|
||||
but useful for [input-addressed] store objects.

### `.narinfo` extra fields
|
||||
|
||||
This meta data is specific to the "binary cache" family of Nix store types.
|
||||
This information is not intrinsic to the store object, but about how it is stored.
|
||||
|
||||
* `url`:
|
||||
|
||||
Where to download a compressed archive of the file system objects of this store object.
|
||||
|
||||
* `compression`:
|
||||
|
||||
The compression format that the archive is in.
|
||||
|
||||
* `fileHash`:
|
||||
|
||||
A digest for the compressed archive itself, as opposed to the data contained within.
|
||||
|
||||
* `fileSize`:
|
||||
|
||||
The size of the compressed archive itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Computed closure fields
|
||||
|
||||
These fields are not stored at all, but computed by traverising the other other fields across all the store objects in a [closure].
|
||||
|
||||
* `closureSize`:
|
||||
|
||||
The total size of the compressed archive itself for this object, and the compressed archive of every object in this object's [closure].
|
||||
|
||||
### `.narinfo` extra fields
|
||||
|
||||
* `closureSize`:
|
||||
|
||||
The total size of this store object and every other object in its [closure].
