JMAP Object Metadata

1.1. Notational Conventions

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 this document follow the conventions described in Section 1.1 of [RFC8620]. The terms "Foo", "SetError", "PatchObject" and "state string" are used as defined in [RFC8620]. This document also uses the following terms:¶

• related object: the JMAP object carrying the metadata and privateMetadata properties.¶

• listed data type: a data type that appears in the dataTypes field of the account capability (Section 1.2.1).¶

• user: the authenticated identity of the session, which is not necessarily the owner of the account.¶

1.2. Addition to the Capabilities Object

The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session object; see Section 2 of [RFC8620]. This document defines one additional capability URI.¶

2.1. Namespaces

The keys of the metadata and privateMetadata objects are namespace identifiers. Each identifier MUST be one of:¶

• A registered name: a sequence of lowercase US-ASCII letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores, with no dot ("."). Registered names may be registered using the procedure in Section 8.2; this document defines no registered names.¶

• A domain name controlled by the vendor providing the namespace, in DNS form (containing at least one ".", e.g., example.com, acme.example.org). Vendors MAY use domain-name namespaces for proprietary metadata without registration; the dot in the name guarantees no collision with registered names. Domain-name identifiers MUST be in lowercase, with internationalized labels in A-label form. Servers MUST reject, with an "invalidProperties" SetError, a /set operation that uses a key that is not a valid namespace identifier, including a domain name containing uppercase ASCII letters.¶

A namespace is supported on a data type if it is a registered name listed in that type's namespaces, or a domain name and the type's supportsVendorNamespaces is true.¶

The value associated with each namespace key MUST be a JSON object, whose internal structure is defined by the specification or vendor owning that namespace; a namespace set to {} remains stored until it is removed with null. Property names within the namespace object follow normal JSON conventions; they do not need to be domain-prefixed, since cross-namespace isolation is already provided by the top-level key.¶

Example:¶

{
  "metadata": {
    "acme.example.com": {
      "color": "blue",
      "priority": "high",
      "project": {
        "id": "ALPHA-2024",
        "deadline": "2024-12-31"
      }
    }
  }
}

The depth of a value is defined recursively: a scalar (string, number, boolean or null) has depth 0; an array has the maximum depth of its elements (0 if empty); an object has depth 1 plus the maximum depth of its member values (1 if empty). For example, {"a": 1} has depth 1 and {"x": [{"y": 1}]} has depth 2. If the account capability specifies a maxDepth for a data type, the depth of a namespace value MUST NOT exceed it; servers MUST reject writes that would exceed it with an "invalidProperties" SetError.¶

A patch that targets one namespace MUST NOT remove or alter any other namespace, including namespaces that are not supported on the data type.¶

Vendors are encouraged to register namespace identifiers that are likely to be useful beyond the vendor's own products, using the procedure in Section 8.2. Registration enhances interoperability and avoids fragmentation.¶

2.2. State Behavior

Changes to metadata or privateMetadata are changes to the related object. They advance the related type's state string, appear in the related type's /changes response, and are otherwise indistinguishable from changes to any other property of that type, with the following clarification:¶

Because privateMetadata is filtered per viewer, a change made by user A to privateMetadata on a shared object MUST advance the related type's state string for user A and MUST NOT advance it for any other user. The same rule applies to /queryChanges: a change to user B's privateMetadata MUST NOT cause user A's Foo/queryChanges to consider the object changed for filter purposes, since the change is not visible to A. A server that cannot provide per-viewer state MUST set supportsPrivate to false for every data type, since cross-viewer state advancement leaks the existence of another user's private write (see Section 7).¶

Changes to metadata or privateMetadata alone MUST NOT update server-maintained modification timestamps of the related object, such as the changed property of FileNode [I-D.ietf-jmap-filenode] or the updated property of CalendarEvent [I-D.ietf-jmap-calendars]. This overrides any requirement of those specifications that the timestamp change on every update.¶

3.1. /get

For a listed data type, when properties is omitted or null, the server MUST include metadata and, where supportsPrivate is true, privateMetadata in each returned object, except for Email/get, whose default property list (Section 4.2 of [RFC8621]) is unchanged. The two properties may also be requested explicitly by name in the properties array, like any other JMAP property.¶

When a client wants only a subset of the metadata, it MAY request individual namespaces using slash-separated subselector paths in the properties argument. The following rules apply to subselectors introduced by this specification:¶

• A subselector has the form metadata/<namespace> or privateMetadata/<namespace>, where <namespace> is a non-empty namespace identifier. Any other properties entry beginning with metadata/ or privateMetadata/ MUST be rejected with an "invalidArguments" method-level error.¶

• Multiple subselectors with the same root combine by union. For example, ["metadata/x", "metadata/y"] returns {"metadata": {"x": ..., "y": ...}} (and nothing else under metadata).¶

• An explicit root entry supersedes subselectors with the same root. For example, ["metadata", "metadata/x"] returns the complete metadata object; the metadata/x entry is redundant rather than restrictive.¶

• A subselector naming a namespace that is not supported (Section 2.1) on the data type MUST be silently omitted from the response, unless the object has data stored under that namespace (Section 2.1.1), which is then returned. This lets clients perform capability-tolerant fetches without first consulting the session capability.¶

• This specification defines slash-path subselectors only for metadata and privateMetadata. The use of slash-path subselectors with any other property name is outside the scope of this document.¶

3.2. /set

The metadata and privateMetadata properties are mutable.¶

In a create entry of Foo/set, each property's value MUST be a complete JSON object (possibly the empty object {}). A value of null for either property MUST be rejected with an "invalidProperties" SetError; the canonical "no metadata" form is {}. In an update, null is equivalent to {}.¶

In an update entry of Foo/set, clients MAY either send a complete object as the value of metadata or privateMetadata (replacing the previous value entirely), or use the PatchObject form (Section 5.3 of [RFC8620]). Patch paths start with metadata/<namespace> or privateMetadata/<namespace> (replacing or removing an entire namespace value) and MAY continue to any depth below it (for example, metadata/<namespace>/<key>/<subkey>), with the semantics of Section 5.3 of [RFC8620]: the parent of the target MUST exist, and a path that traverses an array is rejected with an "invalidPatch" SetError.¶

Setting a patch value to null removes the targeted key, per standard PatchObject semantics (Section 5.3 of [RFC8620]). Setting a path to a complete object value replaces whatever was previously at that path; in particular, a patch of the shape "metadata/<namespace>": { ... } replaces the entire content of that namespace, deleting any keys not present in the new value. Clients that want to add or update individual properties without removing others need to patch the specific keys.¶

The server MUST validate every write against the account capability for the data type. When more than one of the following rules applies, the server MUST evaluate them in the order listed; the first matching rule determines the SetError:¶

1. If the user cannot read the related object, reject with "notFound". If the user lacks write access to the related object and the write targets metadata, reject with "forbidden".¶

2. If the path begins with privateMetadata and supportsPrivate is false for this data type, reject with "invalidProperties".¶

3. If the targeted namespace is not supported on this data type, reject with "invalidProperties" (except for the migration case in Section 2.1.1).¶

4. If a namespace value would exceed maxDepth, reject with "invalidProperties".¶

Patch errors that can be determined from the request alone (for example, two paths where one is a prefix of the other) MUST be reported with "invalidPatch" before rule 1 is evaluated. Patch errors that depend on the current value of the property (a missing parent, or a path through an array) MUST be reported with "invalidPatch" after rule 3 and before rule 4.¶

3.3. /changes

For each data type listed in dataTypes, the Foo/changes request accepts the following additional optional argument:¶

ignoreMetadataOnlyChanges: Boolean (default: false)

If true, the server MUST exclude from the updated array any id whose only changes since sinceState, from the viewer's perspective, are confined to metadata and/or privateMetadata. Ids with any other change remain in updated. If the server cannot determine that an id's changes are metadata-only, it MUST include the id. Excluded ids do not count toward maxChanges. The state string still advances normally, so a client using this argument continues to see correct synchronization for all non-metadata-only changes; metadata-only changes are simply not reported to this client. When this argument is true, updatedProperties (defined below) MUST NOT list metadata or privateMetadata. For Mailbox/changes it may list the count properties (Section 2.2 of [RFC8621]); for other types it MUST be null.¶

The response is extended to include the following additional argument:¶

updatedProperties: String[]|null

This argument is determined per viewer: each user's Foo/changes response is computed against the changes visible to that user (in particular, privateMetadata written by other users is invisible). If, from the viewer's perspective, the only properties that have changed on every id in the updated array since the old state are metadata and/or privateMetadata, this argument MUST be set to a list containing only those property names (e.g., ["metadata"], ["privateMetadata"], or ["metadata", "privateMetadata"]). If any other property (apart from the Mailbox count properties described below) of any id in the array may also have changed (from the viewer's perspective), or if the server cannot determine the answer for any id in the array, this argument MUST be null. The argument applies uniformly to all ids in updated; per-id granularity is not provided. It is always present, and is null when updated is empty.¶

This argument follows the same convention used by Mailbox/changes in Section 2.2 of [RFC8621]. For Mailbox/changes, when every id in updated changed only in its counts (as defined there) and/or in metadata or privateMetadata, the value is the union of the count property names and the metadata property names that may have changed.¶

3.4. /copy

Foo/copy copies metadata to the new object. The copying user's privateMetadata on the source object becomes that user's privateMetadata on the new object; other users' privateMetadata MUST NOT be copied. When the request does not use this capability, only metadata is copied. The create object MAY include metadata and privateMetadata to override the copied values, with the same rules as a create in Foo/set; for Email/copy, this extends the list of properties that may be set in Section 4.7 of [RFC8621]. Copied metadata counts against quota (Section 5) as any other write.¶

Copied values are not revalidated against the destination account: data in a copied namespace that is not supported there is handled as described in Section 2.1.1, and maxDepth applies only to values supplied in the create object. privateMetadata is not copied when the destination does not support it, and neither property is copied when the data type is not listed in the destination account. With onSuccessDestroyOriginal, other users' privateMetadata on the source object is destroyed together with it.¶

3.5. /queryChanges

Foo/queryChanges is unchanged in its method signature and follows the per-viewer rule in Section 2.2.¶

3.6. /query

For each data type listed in dataTypes, the FilterCondition object for Foo/query is extended with the optional fields defined below. Several of those fields take a MetadataTextMatch value.¶

A MetadataTextMatch object has the following fields:¶

path: String

The path within the metadata object to match against: a namespace identifier, optionally followed by a JSON Pointer [RFC6901] into the namespace value (for example, <namespace>, <namespace>/<key> or <namespace>/<key>/<subkey>). Object members are addressed by name; a path that would traverse an array or a scalar addresses no value. A path that is not well formed (for example, one with an invalid ~ escape) MUST be rejected with an "invalidArguments" error.¶

value: String

The string to search for at path. The interpretation of this string (substring containment versus exact equality) is determined by the FilterCondition field that carries the MetadataTextMatch.¶

The extended FilterCondition fields are:¶

metadataExists: String

A path, with the syntax defined for MetadataTextMatch. Matches an object if and only if a value is present at the given path within the object's metadata property. A namespace-only path matches if the namespace key is present and its value is not the empty object {}.¶

privateMetadataExists: String

As metadataExists, but matches against the authenticated user's privateMetadata.¶

metadataTextContains: MetadataTextMatch

Matches an object if the metadata value at the supplied path is a string that contains the supplied value as a substring under the "i;unicode-casemap" collation [RFC5051]. The condition does not match if the path does not exist within metadata, or if the value at the path is not a string.¶

privateMetadataTextContains: MetadataTextMatch

As metadataTextContains, but searches the authenticated user's privateMetadata.¶

metadataTextEquals: MetadataTextMatch

Matches an object if the metadata value at the supplied path is a string that is exactly equal to the supplied value, comparing Unicode code points without case folding or normalization. The condition does not match if the path does not exist within metadata, or if the value at the path is not a string.¶

privateMetadataTextEquals: MetadataTextMatch

As metadataTextEquals, but searches the authenticated user's privateMetadata.¶

The following availability rules apply to all six conditions:¶

• Servers MUST support metadataExists and privateMetadataExists (where supportsPrivate is true).¶

• Servers MAY reject any of the four text-match conditions with an "unsupportedFilter" error if implementation cost or storage layout makes them infeasible. Clients need to be prepared to fall back to a client-side scan in this case.¶

• Any privateMetadata* condition (existence or text) MUST be rejected with an "unsupportedFilter" error if supportsPrivate is false for the data type.¶

• Conditions are evaluated against the stored data whether or not the namespace is supported on the data type, so data stored under an unsupported namespace (Section 2.1.1) can still be found. A condition naming an unsupported namespace with no stored data, or a string that is not a valid namespace identifier, matches no objects; it does not produce an error.¶

These conditions compose with the data type's existing filter conditions through the usual AND/OR/NOT operators (Section 5.5 of [RFC8620]). For example, a client may query for Email objects in a particular mailbox whose vendor metadata contains a search term in a single server-side query, as shown in Section 6.7.¶

4.1. Account Delegation and Administrative Access

privateMetadata is keyed by the authenticated identity of the session. A delegate, an impersonating administrator, or any other session authenticated as a different identity than the account owner MUST see and write only its own privateMetadata, never the account owner's. Exposing the account owner's privateMetadata to such a session is outside the scope of this document.¶

6.1. Capability

A session for an account whose server supports metadata on four data types, with varying private-metadata and depth settings:¶

{
  "capabilities": {
    "urn:ietf:params:jmap:metadata": {}
  },
  "accounts": {
    "A1": {
      "accountCapabilities": {
        "urn:ietf:params:jmap:metadata": {
          "dataTypes": {
            "Email": {
              "namespaces": [],
              "supportsVendorNamespaces": true,
              "supportsPrivate": true,
              "maxDepth": 4
            },
            "Mailbox": {
              "namespaces": [],
              "supportsVendorNamespaces": true,
              "supportsPrivate": true,
              "maxDepth": null
            },
            "CalendarEvent": {
              "namespaces": [],
              "supportsVendorNamespaces": true,
              "supportsPrivate": false,
              "maxDepth": 2
            },
            "FileNode": {
              "namespaces": ["photography"],
              "supportsVendorNamespaces": false,
              "supportsPrivate": false,
              "maxDepth": 3
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

6.2. Fetching a Mailbox with Its Metadata

Request the shared metadata and the user's private metadata for a single Mailbox:¶

[
  ["Mailbox/get", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "ids": ["MB1"],
    "properties": [
      "id", "name",
      "metadata/acme.example.com",
      "privateMetadata/acme.example.com"
    ]
  }, "c1"]
]

Response:¶

[
  ["Mailbox/get", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "state": "mb-100",
    "list": [
      {
        "id": "MB1",
        "name": "Team Inbox",
        "metadata": {
          "acme.example.com": {
            "color": "blue",
            "owner": "team-alpha"
          }
        },
        "privateMetadata": {
          "acme.example.com": {
            "workflowState": "pending-review"
          }
        }
      }
    ],
    "notFound": []
  }, "c1"]
]

6.3. Patching a Single Property within a Namespace

Update one property inside a namespace without disturbing the others:¶

[
  ["Mailbox/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "update": {
      "MB1": {
        "metadata/acme.example.com/color": "green"
      }
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

Removing a single property uses a patch to null:¶

[
  ["Mailbox/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "update": {
      "MB1": {
        "metadata/acme.example.com/color": null
      }
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

6.4. Creating an Email with Private Metadata

Create a draft Email and attach a private workflow annotation atomically. The metadata is just another property on the create:¶

[
  ["Email/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "create": {
      "draft1": {
        "mailboxIds": { "MB1": true },
        "keywords": { "$draft": true },
        "subject": "Project Update",
        "from": [{ "email": "alice@example.com" }],
        "to":   [{ "email": "bob@example.com" }],
        "bodyStructure": {
          "type": "text/plain",
          "partId": "1"
        },
        "bodyValues": {
          "1": { "value": "Here is the project update..." }
        },
        "privateMetadata": {
          "acme.example.com": {
            "workflowState": "pending-review",
            "assignedTo": "carol@example.com"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

The response is a single Email/set response; there is no separate metadata response, because metadata is part of the Email object.¶

6.5. Attaching Photography Metadata to a FileNode

This example uses a fictional IANA-registered namespace photography, assumed for the purpose of this example to be specified for photographic information about image files and applicable to the FileNode data type. The capability for the account in Section 6.1 advertises FileNode as supporting photography and no vendor namespaces.¶

Request:¶

[
  ["FileNode/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "update": {
      "F456": {
        "metadata/photography": {
          "geoLocation": {
            "latitude": 46.362,
            "longitude": 14.090
          },
          "cameraMake": "Canon",
          "cameraModel": "EOS R5",
          "aperture": "f/2.8",
          "shutterSpeed": "1/250",
          "iso": 400,
          "focalLength": "50mm",
          "dateTaken": "2023-10-01T01:14:00Z",
          "imageSize": {
            "width": 6000,
            "height": 4000
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

Subsequent retrieval of the FileNode, requesting only the relevant metadata namespace:¶

[
  ["FileNode/get", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "ids": ["F456"],
    "properties": [
      "id", "name", "type", "size",
      "metadata/photography"
    ]
  }, "c2"]
]

Response:¶

[
  ["FileNode/get", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "state": "f-200",
    "list": [
      {
        "id": "F456",
        "name": "lake-island.jpg",
        "type": "image/jpeg",
        "size": 2458624,
        "metadata": {
          "photography": {
            "geoLocation": {
              "latitude": 46.362,
              "longitude": 14.090
            },
            "cameraMake": "Canon",
            "cameraModel": "EOS R5",
            "aperture": "f/2.8",
            "shutterSpeed": "1/250",
            "iso": 400,
            "focalLength": "50mm",
            "dateTaken": "2023-10-01T01:14:00Z",
            "imageSize": {
              "width": 6000,
              "height": 4000
            }
          }
        }
      }
    ],
    "notFound": []
  }, "c2"]
]

6.6. Updating a CalendarEvent and Its Metadata Atomically

This example updates a primary property of a CalendarEvent and two vendor metadata properties in the same /set call. As with any update entry, either all of these changes apply or none do.¶

Request:¶

[
  ["CalendarEvent/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "update": {
      "CE789": {
        "title": "Quarterly Review Meeting",
        "start": "2024-12-15T14:00:00",
        "metadata/acme.example.com/lastModifiedReason":
            "Rescheduled per manager request",
        "metadata/acme.example.com/approvalStatus": "pending"
      }
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

A successful response is a single CalendarEvent/set response; metadata changes do not produce a separate response because they are properties of the event itself:¶

[
  ["CalendarEvent/set", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "oldState": "c-200",
    "newState": "c-201",
    "updated": {
      "CE789": null
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

6.7. Querying by Metadata and a Primary Property Together

Find all Email objects in a particular Mailbox whose private vendor memo contains the text "follow up":¶

[
  ["Email/query", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "filter": {
      "operator": "AND",
      "conditions": [
        { "inMailbox": "MB-inbox" },
        {
          "privateMetadataTextContains": {
            "path":  "acme.example.com/memo",
            "value": "follow up"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }, "c1"]
]

6.8. Detecting a Metadata-Only Change through /changes

After another client updates the shared metadata of two Emails, the next Email/changes call returns:¶

[
  ["Email/changes", {
    "accountId": "A1",
    "oldState": "e-100",
    "newState": "e-103",
    "hasMoreChanges": false,
    "created": [],
    "updated": ["EM1", "EM2"],
    "destroyed": [],
    "updatedProperties": ["metadata"]
  }, "c1"]
]

The client knows it only needs to refetch the metadata property of EM1 and EM2, not the full Email objects.¶

7.1. Metadata Confidentiality

Metadata may contain sensitive information: personal notes, workflow states, application-specific data, and other user-generated content. Servers MUST enforce the access-control rules in Section 4. Failures here are direct privacy breaches.¶

privateMetadata is per-user. The server MUST ensure that each user sees only their own content, even on shared related objects. This is the most common implementation pitfall in this specification: a query or /get implementation that returns another user's privateMetadata is a serious bug. Servers MUST verify that result filtering applies uniformly to /get, /query, /changes, /queryChanges, and to any cached or denormalized representation.¶

Per-viewer state (Section 2.2) interacts with confidentiality. A server that advances the related type's state for user B in response to user A's private write is not leaking the metadata content, but it is leaking a signal that something private to A changed on the related object. The specification therefore requires per-viewer state, and requires supportsPrivate to be false where the server cannot provide it.¶

7.2. User Identity and Authentication

The private-metadata model relies on accurate user identification. Servers need to identify the authenticated user reliably for every metadata operation and keep each privateMetadata value associated with the user that wrote it, so that identity spoofing or authentication bypass cannot expose another user's private metadata. Delegated and administrative sessions are covered in Section 4.1.¶

7.3. Untrusted Namespace Values

Namespace values are arbitrary client-supplied content. Servers and clients need to treat them as untrusted input: validate them before use, apply context-appropriate output encoding (for example, when rendering them in a web page or storing them in a database), and never interpret them as code. Servers store namespace values as given; they do not alter them, since clients and metadataTextEquals rely on exact values.¶

Clients that render metadata need appropriate sandboxing and Content Security Policy, and need to distinguish clearly in their user interface between metadata (visible to others) and privateMetadata (visible only to the user), so that users do not inadvertently disclose private notes. Clients also cannot assume the structure of a namespace value without checking it.¶

7.4. Resource Exhaustion

Without controls, metadata can be abused for denial of service:¶

• Storage exhaustion: bulk creation of large metadata payloads, particularly under privateMetadata, where every user with access to a shared object can independently consume space.¶

• Processing exhaustion: deeply nested or pathologically large namespace values.¶

• Query complexity: text-match filter conditions (metadataTextContains/metadataTextEquals and their private variants) that require expensive scanning, particularly when combined with per-user filtering across many users. Servers MAY reject such conditions with "unsupportedFilter" (Section 3.6) to bound the cost.¶

Servers SHOULD apply the quota mechanism in Section 5, and can also bound value sizes, enforce maxDepth, time out long-running queries, rate-limit metadata writes, and monitor for unusual usage patterns (for example, a single user creating private metadata on unusually many objects). Per-user filtering of privateMetadata needs to be efficient so that it does not itself become a denial-of-service vector.¶

8.1. JMAP Capability Registration for "metadata"

IANA will register the "metadata" JMAP Capability as follows:¶

Capability Name: urn:ietf:params:jmap:metadata
Specification document: this document
Intended use: common
Change Controller: IETF
Security and privacy considerations: this document, Section 7¶

8.2. Creation of the "JMAP Metadata Namespaces" Registry

IANA is requested to create the "JMAP Metadata Namespaces" registry to record metadata namespace identifiers used as top-level keys in the metadata and privateMetadata properties defined by this specification.¶

This registry uses the Expert Review process (Section 4.5 of [RFC8126]). Registrants must propose a name without a dot ("."), since names containing a dot are reserved for vendor domain-name namespaces and need no registration. The designated expert MUST ensure that the proposed name does not collide with an existing registration and that the specification provides sufficient detail for interoperability (in particular, the structure of the namespace's value).¶

Registrations may be of Intended Use "common", "reserved", or "obsolete". A "reserved" registration reserves a name without assigning semantics; an "obsolete" registration marks a name that should no longer be used by up-to-date implementations.¶
