JMAP Blob management extension
Abstract
The JMAP base protocol (RFC8620) provides the ability to upload and download arbitrary binary data via HTTP POST and GET on 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.¶

1. Introduction
Sometimes JMAP ([RFC8620]) interactions require creating a blob and then referencing it. In the same way that IMAP Literals were extended by [RFC7888], embedding small blobs directly into the JMAP method calls array can be an option for reducing roundtrips.¶
Likewise, when fetching an object, it can be useful to also fetch the raw content of that object without a separate roundtrip.¶
Since raw blobs may contain arbitrary binary data, this document defines a use of the base64 coding specified in [RFC4648] for both creating and fetching blob data.¶
Where JMAP is being proxied through a system which applies additional access restrictions, it can be useful to know which objects reference any particular blob, and this document defines a way to discover those references.¶
2. Conventions Used In This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
The definitions of JSON keys and datatypes in the document follow the conventions described in the core JMAP specification [RFC8620].¶
3. Addition to the Capabilities Object
The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session object; see [RFC8620], Section 2.¶
This document defines an additional capability URI.¶
3.1. urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob
The capability urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob
being present in the
"accountCapabilities" property of an account represents support
for additional API methods on the Blob datatype. Servers that
include the capability in one or more "accountCapabilities"
properties MUST also include the property in the "capabilities"
property.¶
The value of this property in the JMAP session "capabilities" property MUST be an empty object.¶
The value of this property in an account's "accountCapabilities" property is an object that MAY contain the following information on server capabilities and permissions for that account:¶
-
maxSizeBlobSet:
UnsignedInt|null
¶If present, this is the maximum size of blob (in octets) that the server will allow to be created (including blobs created by concatenating multiple data sources together).¶
Clients MUST NOT attempt to create blobs larger than this size.¶
If this value is not present or
null
, then clients are not required to limit the size of blob they try to create, though servers can always reject creation of blobs regardless of size; e.g. due to lack of disk space, or per-user rate limits.¶ -
maxDataSources:
UnsignedInt|null
¶If present, gives the maximum number of of DataSourceObjects allowed per creation in a Blob/upload. Servers MUST allow at least 64 items.¶
If this value is not present or
null
, then clients MUST assume a limit of 64 items.¶ -
supportedTypeNames:
String[]|null
¶An array of data type names that are supported for
Blob/lookup
. If the server does not support lookups then this could be the empty list, not present ornull
.¶ -
supportedDigestAlgorithms
String[]|null
¶An array of supported digest algorithms that are supported for
Blob/get
. If the server does not support calculating blob digests, then this could be the empty list, not present, ornull
. Algorithms on this list MUST be present in the HTTP Digest Alogirthms registry defined by [RFC3230], and are always lowercased.¶
3.1.1. Capability Example
{ "capabilities": { ..., "urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob": {} }, "accounts": { "A13842": { ... "accountCapabilities": { "urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob": { "maxSizeBlobSet": 50000000, "maxDataSources": 100, "supportedTypeNames" : [ "Mailbox", "Thread", "Email" ], "supportedDigestAlgorithms" : [ "sha", "sha-256" ] } } } } }¶
4. Blob Methods
A blob is a sequence of zero or more octets.¶
The JMAP base spec [RFC8620] defines the Blob/copy
method, which
is unchanged by this specfication, and is selected by the
urn:ietf:params:jmap:core
capability.¶
The following JMAP Methods are selected by the
urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob
capability.¶
4.1. Blob/upload
This is similar to a Foo/set from [RFC8620] in some ways, however blobs can't
be updated or deleted, so only create
is allowed in the method call, and blobs
don't have state, so there is no state
field present in the method response.¶
Parameters¶
-
accountId:
Id
¶The id of the account in which the blobs will be created.¶
-
create:
Id[UploadObject]
¶A map of creation id to UploadObjects.¶
Result¶
The result is the same as for Foo/set in RFC8620, with created
and notCreated
objects
mapping from the creationId.¶
The created
objects contain:¶
-
id:
Id
¶the blobId which was created¶
-
type:
String|null
¶the media type as given in the creation (if any); or detected from content; or null¶
-
size:
UnsignedInt
¶as per RFC8620 - the size of the created blob in octets¶
Plus any other properties identical to those that would be returned in the JSON response of the RFC8620 upload endpoint (which may be extended in the future - this document anticipates that implementations will extend both the upload endpoint and the Blob/upload responses in the same way)¶
Or if there is a problem with a creation, then the server will return a notCreated
response with a map from the failed creationId to a SetError
object.¶
For each sucessful upload, servers MUST add an entry to the creationIds
map
for the request. This allows the blob id to be used via back-reference in
subsequent method calls.¶
UploadObject¶
-
data:
DataSourceObject[]
¶an array of zero or more octet sources in order (zero to create an empty blob). The result of each of these sources is concatenated together in order to create the blob.¶
-
type:
String|null
(default: null)¶hint for media type of the data¶
DataSourceObject¶
Exactly one of:¶
-
data:asText:
String|null
(raw octets, must be UTF-8)¶ -
data:asBase64:
String|null
(base64 representation of octets)¶
or a blobId source:¶
If null
then offset is assumed to be zero.¶
If null
then length is the remaining octets in the blob.¶
If the range can not be fully satisfied (i.e. begins or extends past the end of the data in the blob) then the DataSourceObject is invalid and results in a notCreated response for this creation id.¶
If the data properties have any invalid references or invalid data contained in them, the server MUST NOT guess as to the user's intent, and MUST reject the creation and return a notCreated response for that creation id.¶
Likewise, invalid characters in the base64 of data:asBase64, or invalid UTF-8 in data:asText MUST result in a nonCreated response.¶
It is envisaged that the definition for DataSourceObject might be extended in future, for example to fetch external content.¶
A server MUST accept at least 64 DataSourceObjects per create, as described in Section 3.1 of this document.¶
4.1.1. Blob/upload simple example
The data:asBase64 field is set over multiple lines for ease of publication here, however all data:asBase64 would be sent as a continuous string with no whitespace on the wire.¶
Method Call: [ "Blob/upload", { "accountId": "account1", "create": { "1": { "data" : [ { "data:asBase64": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKA AAAA1BMVEX/AAAZ4gk3AAAAAXRSTlN/gFy0ywAAAApJRE FUeJxjYgAAAAYAAzY3fKgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=", } ], "type": "image/png" }, }, }, "R1" ] Response: [ "Blob/upload", { "accountId" : "account1", "created" : { "1": { "id" : "G4c6751edf9dd6903ff54b792e432fba781271beb", "type" : "image/png", "size" : 95 }, }, }, "R1" ]¶
4.1.2. Blob/upload complex example
Method Calls: [ [ "Blob/upload", { "create": { "b4": { "data": [ { "data:asText": "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." } ] } } }, "S4" ], [ "Blob/upload", { "create": { "cat": { "data": [ { "data:asText": "How" }, { "blobId": "#b4", "length": 7, "offset": 3 }, { "data:asText": "was t" }, { "blobId": "#b4", "length": 1, "offset": 1 }, { "data:asBase64": "YXQ/" } ] } } }, "CAT" ], [ "Blob/get", { "properties": [ "data:asText", "size" ], "ids": [ "#cat" ] }, "G4" ] ] Responses: [ [ "Blob/upload", { "oldState": null, "created": { "b4": { "id": "Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e", "size": 45, "type": "application/octet-stream" } }, "notCreated": null, "accountId": "account1" }, "S4" ], [ "Blob/upload", { "oldState": null, "created": { "cat": { "id": "Gcc60576f036321ae6e8037ffc56bdee589bd3e23", "size": 19, "type": "application/octet-stream" } }, "notCreated": null, "accountId": "account1" }, "CAT" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "Gcc60576f036321ae6e8037ffc56bdee589bd3e23", "data:asText": "How quick was that?", "size": 19 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G4" ] ]¶
4.2. Blob/get
A standard JMAP get, with two additional optional parameters:¶
-
offset:
UnsignedInt|null
¶start this many octets into the blob data. If null or unspecified, this defaults to zero.¶
-
length:
UnsignedInt|null
¶return at most this many octets of the blob data. If null or unspecified, then all remaining octets in the blob are returned. This can be considered equivalent to an infinitely large length value, except that the isTruncated warning is not given unless the start offset is past the end of the blob.¶
Request Properties:¶
Any of¶
- data:asText¶
- data:asBase64¶
- data (returns data:asText if the selected octets are valid UTF-8, or data:asBase64)¶
- digest:<algorithm> (where <algorithm> is one of the named algorithms in the
supportedDigestAlgorithms
capability)¶ - size¶
If not given, properties defaults to data
and size
.¶
Result Properties:¶
-
data:asText:
String|null
¶the raw octets of the selected range if they are valid UTF-8, otherwise null¶
-
data:asBase64:
String
¶the base64 encoding of the octets in the selected range¶
-
digest:<algorithm>
String
¶the base64 encoding of the digest of the octets in the selected range, calculated using the named algorithm¶
-
isEncodingProblem:
Boolean
(default: false)¶ -
isTruncated:
Boolean
(default: false)¶ -
size:
UnsignedInt
¶the number of octets in the entire blob¶
The size value MUST always be the number of octets in the underlying blob, regardless of offset and length.¶
The data fields contain a representation of the octets within the selected
range that are present in the blob. If the octets selected are not valid
UTF-8 (including truncating in the middle of a multi-octet sequence)
and data
or data:asText
was requested, then the key isEncodingProblem
MUST be set to true
and the data:asText
response value MUST be null
.
In the case where data
was requested and the data is not valid UTF-8,
then data:asBase64
MUST be returned.¶
If the selected range requests data outside the blob (i.e. the offset+length
is larger than the blob) then the result is either just the octets from the
offset to the end of the blob, or an empty string if the offset is past the
end of the blob. Either way, the isTruncated
property in the result MUST
be set to true
to tell the client that the requested range could not be
fully satisfied. If digest was requested, any digest
is calculated on the
octets that would be returned for a data
field.¶
Servers SHOULD store the size for blobs in a format which is efficient to read, and clients SHOULD limit their request to just the size parameter if that is all they need, as fetching blob content could be significantly more expensive and slower for the server.¶
4.2.1. Blob/get simple example
Where a blob containing the string "The quick brown fox jumped over
the lazy dog." has blobId Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e
.¶
The first method call requests just the size for multiple blobs, and the second requests both size and a short range of the data for one of the blobs.¶
Method Calls: [ [ "Blob/get", { "ids" : [ "Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e" "not-a-blob" ], "properties" : [ "data:asText", "digest:sha", "size" ] }, "R1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "accountId" : "account1", "ids" : [ "Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e" ], "properties" : [ "data:asText", "data:asBase64", "digest:sha", "digest:sha-256", "size" ], "offset" : 4, "length" : 9 }, "R2" ] ] Responses: [ [ "Blob/get", { "accountId": "account1", "list": [ { "id": "Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e", "data:asText": "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.", "digest:sha": "wIVPufsDxBzOOALLDSIFKebu+U4=", "size": 45 } ], "notFound": [ "not-a-blob" ] }, "R1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "accountId": "account1", "list": [ { "id": "Gc0854fb9fb03c41cce3802cb0d220529e6eef94e", "data:asText": "quick bro", "digest:sha": "QiRAPtfyX8K6tm1iOAtZ87Xj3Ww=", "digest:sha-256": "gdg9INW7lwHK6OQ9u0dwDz2ZY/gubi0En0xlFpKt0OA=", "size": 45 } ] }, "R2" ] ]¶
4.2.2. Blob/get example with range and encoding errors
The b1
value is the text: "The quick brown fox jumped over the \x81\x81 fox"
which contains an invalid utf8 sequence.¶
The results have the following interesting properties:¶
-
G1: defaults to
data
andsize
- so b1 returnsisEncodingProblem
and a base64 value.¶ -
G2: since
data:asText
was explicitly selected, does not attempt to return a value for the data, justisEncodingProblem
for b1.¶ -
G3: since only
data:asBase64
was requested, there is no encoding problem and both values are returned.¶ -
G4: since the requested range could be satisfied as text, both blobs are returned as
data:asText
and there is no encoding problem.¶ -
G5: both blobs cannot satisfy the requested range, so isTruncated is true for both.¶
Note: some values have been wrapped for line length - there would be
no whitespace in the data:asBase64
values on the wire¶
Method calls: [ [ "Blob/upload", { "create": { "b1": { "data": [ { "data:asBase64": "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZW Qgb3ZlciB0aGUggYEgZG9nLg==" } ] }, "b2": { "data": [ { "data:asText": "hello world" } ], "type" : "text/plain" } } }, "S1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "ids": [ "#b1", "#b2" ] }, "G1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "ids": [ "#b1", "#b2" ], "properties": [ "data:asText", "size" ] }, "G2" ], [ "Blob/get", { "ids": [ "#b1", "#b2" ], "properties": [ "data:asBase64", "size" ] }, "G3" ], [ "Blob/get", { "offset": 0, "length": 5, "ids": [ "#b1", "#b2" ] }, "G4" ], [ "Blob/get", { "offset": 20, "length": 100, "ids": [ "#b1", "#b2" ] }, "G5" ] ] Responses: [ [ "Blob/upload", { "oldState": null, "created": { "b2": { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "size": 11, "type": "application/octet-stream" }, "b1": { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "size": 43, "type": "text/plain" } }, "updated": null, "destroyed": null, "notCreated": null, "notUpdated": null, "notDestroyed": null, "accountId": "account1" }, "S1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "isEncodingProblem": true, "data:asBase64": "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZW Qgb3ZlciB0aGUggYEgZG9nLg==", "size": 43 }, { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "data:asText": "hello world", "size": 11 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G1" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "isEncodingProblem": true, "size": 43 }, { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "data:asText": "hello world", "size": 11 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G2" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "data:asBase64": "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZW Qgb3ZlciB0aGUggYEgZG9nLg==", "size": 43 }, { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "data:asBase64": "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=", "size": 11 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G3" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "data:asText": "The q", "size": 43 }, { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "data:asText": "hello", "size": 11 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G4" ], [ "Blob/get", { "list": [ { "id": "G72cfa4804194563685d9a4b695f7ba20e7739576", "isTruncated": true, "isEncodingProblem": true, "data:asBase64": "anVtcGVkIG92ZXIgdGhlIIGBIGRvZy4=", "size": 43 }, { "id": "G2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed", "isTruncated": true, "data:asText": "", "size": 11 } ], "notFound": [], "accountId": "account1" }, "G5" ] ]¶
4.3. Blob/lookup
Given a list of blobIds, this method does a reverse lookup in each of the provided type names to find the list of Ids within that data type which reference the provided blob.¶
The definition of reference is somewhat loosely defined, but roughly means "you could discover this blobId by looking inside this object", for example if a Mailbox contains an Email which references the blobId, then it references that blobId. Likewise for a Thread.¶
Parameters¶
-
accountId:
Id
¶The id of the account used for the call.¶
-
typeNames:
String[]
¶A list of names from the "JMAP Data Types" registry. Only names for which "Can reference blobs" is true may be specified, and the capability which defines each type must also be used by the overall JMAP request in which this method is called.¶
If a type name is not known by the server, or the associated capability has not been requested, then the server returns an "unknownDataType" error.¶
-
ids:
Id[]
¶A list of blobId values to be looked for.¶
Response¶
BlobInfo Object¶
-
id:
Id
¶The Blob Identifier.¶
-
matchedIds:
String[Id[]]
¶A map from type name to list of Ids of that data type (e.g. the name "Email" maps to a list of emailIds)¶
If a blob is not visible to a user at all, then the server SHOULD return that blobId in the notFound array, however it may also return an empty list for each type name, as it may not be able to know if other data types do reference that blob.¶
4.3.1. Blob/lookup example
Method call: [ "Blob/lookup", { "typeNames": [ "Mailbox", "Thread", "Email" ], "ids": [ "Gd2f81008cf07d2425418f7f02a3ca63a8bc82003", "not-a-blob" ] }, "R1" ] Response: [ "Blob/lookup", { "list": [ { "id": "Gd2f81008cf07d2425418f7f02a3ca63a8bc82003", "matchedIds": { "Mailbox": [ "M54e97373", "Mcbe6b662" ], "Thread": [ "T1530616e" ], "Email": [ "E16e70a73eb4", "E84b0930cf16" ] } } ], "notFound": [ "not-a-blob" ] }, "R1" ]¶
5. Security considerations
JSON parsers are not all consistent in handling non-UTF-8 data. JMAP requires
that all JSON data be UTF-8 encoded, so servers MUST only return a null value
if data:asText
is requested for a range of octets which is not valid UTF-8,
and set isEncodingProblem: true
.¶
Servers MUST apply any access controls, such that if the authenticated user would be unable to discover the blobId by making queries, then this fact can't be discovered via a Blob/lookup. For example, if an Email exists in a Mailbox which the authenticated user does not have access to see, then that emailId MUST NOT be returned in a lookup for a blob which is referenced by that email.¶
If a server might sometimes return all names empty rather than putting a blobId in the notFound response to a Blob/get, then the server SHOULD always return the same type of response, regardless of whether a blob exists but the user can't access it, or doesn't exist at all. This avoids leaking information about the existence of the blob.¶
The server MUST NOT trust that the data given to a Blob/upload is a well formed instance of the specified media type, and if the server attempts to parse the given blob, only hardened parsers designed to deal with arbitrary untrusted data should be used. The server SHOULD NOT reject data on the grounds that it is not a valid specimen of the stated type.¶
Blob/upload with carefully chosen data sources can be used to recreate dangerous content on the far side of security scanners (anti-virus or exfiltration scanners for example) which may be watching the upload endpoint. Server implementations SHOULD provide a hook to allow security scanners to check the resulting blob after concatenating the data sources in the same way that they do for the upload endpoint.¶
6. IANA considerations
6.1. JMAP Capability registration for "blob"
IANA is requested to register the "blob" JMAP Capability as follows:¶
Capability Name: urn:ietf:params:jmap:blob¶
Specification document: this document¶
Intended use: common¶
Change Controller: IETF¶
Security and privacy considerations: this document, Section XXX¶
6.2. JMAP Error Codes Registration for "unknownDataType"
IANA is requested to register the "unknownDataType" JMAP Error Code as follows:¶
JMAP Error Code: unknownDataType¶
Intended use: common¶
Change Controller: IETF¶
Reference: this document¶
Description: The server does not recognise this data type, or the capability to enable it was not present.¶
6.3. Creation of "JMAP Data Types" Registry
IANA is requested to create a new registry "JMAP Data Types" with the initial content:¶
Type Name | Can reference blobs | Can use for state change | Capability | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Core | No | No | urn:ietf:params:jmap:core | [RFC8620] |
PushSubscription | No | No | urn:ietf:params:jmap:core | [RFC8620] |
Mailbox | Yes | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail | [RFC8621] |
Thread | Yes | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail | [RFC8621] |
Yes | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail | [RFC8621] | |
EmailDelivery | No | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail | [RFC8621] |
SearchSnippet | No | No | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail | [RFC8621] |
Identity | No | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:submission | [RFC8621] |
EmailSubmission | No | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:submission | [RFC8621] |
VacationResponse | No | Yes | urn:ietf:params:jmap:vacationresponse | [RFC8621] |
MDN | No | No | urn:ietf:params:jmap:mdn | [RFC9007] |
This policy for this registry is "Specification required", either an RFC or a simiarly stable reference document which defines a JMAP Data Type and associated capability.¶
IANA is asked to appoint designated experts to review requests for additions to this registry, with guidance to allow any registration which provides a stable document describing the capability, and control over the URI namespace where the capability URI points.¶

- fixed mmark sillyness causing RFC8620 to be non-normative in the references¶
- clarified the capability object and accountCapability object requirements¶
- made capability keys much more tightly defined, with mandatory minimum catenate limit and default values.¶
- increased use of normative language generally¶
- lowercased 'blob' anywhere it wasn't explicitly the object¶
- lowercased titles of the columns in the registry¶
draft-ietf-jmap-blob-07:¶
- more examples to cover the interactions of offset, length and encoding checks.¶
draft-ietf-jmap-blob-06:¶
- removed asHex - we only need base64 and text¶
- added reference to where base64 is defined¶
- made 'destroy' not be allowed¶
- expanded JSON examples for readability¶
- removed 'expires' from examples¶
draft-ietf-jmap-blob-05:¶
- discovered I hadn't actually included
typeNames
andmatchedIds
anywhere except the updates section, oops!¶ - added a catenate example¶
- tightened up some text¶
draft-ieft-jmap-blob-04:¶
- added security considerations for scanning
catenate
results¶
draft-ieft-jmap-blob-03:¶
- added capabilities object¶
- renamed types to typeNames and matchedIds¶
- added details of how to handle non-UTF8 data and truncation in Blob/get¶
- added isTruncated and isEncodingProblem to Blob/get to tell the client if the request wasn't entirely satisfied.¶
draft-ieft-jmap-blob-02:¶
- fixed incorrect RFC number in reference and HTTP PUT -> POST, thanks Ken.¶
- added acknowledgements section¶
- removed all 'datatype' text and changed to 'data type' or 'type name' as appropriate (issue #1 proposal)¶

draft-ieft-jmap-blob-01:¶
- renamed 'datatypes' to 'types' to align with PushSubscription from RFC8620.¶
- added example for Blob/get¶
- specified offset and length precisely¶
draft-ieft-jmap-blob-00:¶
- initial adoption as an IETF document, otherwise identical to draft-gondwana-jmap-blob-02¶
draft-gondwana-jmap-blob-02¶
