JSON Meta Application Protocol Blob Management Extension
RFC 9404, “JSON Meta Application Protocol Blob Management Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2023 by B. Gondwana. It updates RFC 8620. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP) base protocol (RFC 8620) provides the ability to upload and download arbitrary binary data via HTTP POST and GET on a defined endpoint. This binary data is called a "blob".
This extension adds additional ways to create and access blobs by making inline method calls within a standard JMAP request.
This extension also adds a reverse lookup mechanism to discover where blobs are referenced within other data types.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
The canonical text of RFC 9404 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in HTML,TXT,PDF,XML.
