Registry specification

Registry definition

A registry is storage location for multiple packages with the purpose of allowing multiple people to access the same packages.

Registry layout

The registry layout is designed with the intent of allowing registry implementations from simple to very complex. For small registries this could be a folder containing the packages, and for larger ones it could be a webserver with access control.

Each registry shall organize packages based on the package id and version.

The client accesses packages by appending the id and version to the registry root like so registry-root/<id>/<version>.

For search purposes the registry should keep an index.json file at the root of the repository that contains a list of all uploaded packages and variant possibilities.
