Readme
The OpenRPC Specification Repository
Purpose of this Repository
This is a repository that contains the OpenRPC specification, and the tooling to build, maintain, and release the specification.
Latest OpenRPC Specification
The latest version of the specification may be found here.
Previous Versions of the Specification
All versions of the specification can be found on the Github releases page.
You may also access specific versions of the spec by appending the version to the spec url as follows:
https://spec.open-rpc.org/1.0.0
Announcement Recent Change
The OpenRPC specification is now packaged and deployed as @open-rpc/spec, and it includes versioned historical schemas.
This allows downstream tooling and SDKs to pull specific schema versions directly from the published package.
Examples:
@open-rpc/spec/1_3/schema.json@open-rpc/spec/1_4/schema.json
Regex Change (starting 1.4)
Starting with the 1.4.x schema line, the openrpc constraint moves from explicit patch-level enumeration to a regex-based version-line constraint.
This means 1.4.x is validated as a compatibility line instead of requiring each patch version to be listed.
ENUM Change
Historically, schema compatibility across versions was not always explicit. To clarify behavior boundaries, version ENUMs are now treated as strict compatibility declarations: a spec version appears only when that schema behavior set explicitly supports it.
These changes are not intended to break existing valid documents, but they make version/behavior differences explicit and machine-checkable for tooling.
Contributing
How to contribute, build and release are outlined in CONTRIBUTING.md, BUILDING.md and RELEASING.md respectively. Commits in this repository follow the CONVENTIONAL_COMMITS.md specification.
