-# The composer.json Schema
-This chapter will explain all of the fields available in `composer.json`.
-## JSON schema
-We have a [JSON schema](http://json-schema.org) that documents the format and
-can also be used to validate your `composer.json`. In fact, it is used by the
-`validate` command. You can find it at: https://getcomposer.org/schema.json
-## Root Package
-The root package is the package defined by the `composer.json` at the root of
-your project. It is the main `composer.json` that defines your project
-requirements.
-Certain fields only apply when in the root package context. One example of
-this is the `config` field. Only the root package can define configuration.
-The config of dependencies is ignored. This makes the `config` field
-`root-only`.
-> **Note:** A package can be the root package or not, depending on the context.
-> For example, if your project depends on the `monolog` library, your project
-> is the root package. However, if you clone `monolog` from GitHub in order to
-> fix a bug in it, then `monolog` is the root package.
-## Properties
-### name
-The name of the package. It consists of vendor name and project name,
-separated by `/`. Examples:
-* monolog/monolog
-* igorw/event-source
-The name can contain any character, including white spaces, and it's case
-insensitive (`foo/bar` and `Foo/Bar` are considered the same package). In order
-to simplify its installation, it's recommended to define a short and lowercase
-name that doesn't include non-alphanumeric characters or white spaces.
-Required for published packages (libraries).
-### description
-A short description of the package. Usually this is one line long.
-Required for published packages (libraries).
-### version
-The version of the package. In most cases this is not required and should
-be omitted (see below).
-This must follow the format of `X.Y.Z` or `vX.Y.Z` with an optional suffix
-of `-dev`, `-patch` (`-p`), `-alpha` (`-a`), `-beta` (`-b`) or `-RC`.
-The patch, alpha, beta and RC suffixes can also be followed by a number.
-Examples:
-- 1.0.0
-- 1.0.2
-- 1.1.0
-- 0.2.5
-- 1.0.0-dev
-- 1.0.0-alpha3
-- 1.0.0-beta2
-- 1.0.0-RC5
-- v2.0.4-p1
-Optional if the package repository can infer the version from somewhere, such
-as the VCS tag name in the VCS repository. In that case it is also recommended
-to omit it.
-> **Note:** Packagist uses VCS repositories, so the statement above is very
-> much true for Packagist as well. Specifying the version yourself will
-> most likely end up creating problems at some point due to human error.
-### type
-The type of the package. It defaults to `library`.
-Package types are used for custom installation logic. If you have a package
-that needs some special logic, you can define a custom type. This could be a
-`symfony-bundle`, a `wordpress-plugin` or a `typo3-cms-extension`. These types
-will all be specific to certain projects, and they will need to provide an
-installer capable of installing packages of that type.
-Out of the box, Composer supports four types:
-- **library:** This is the default. It will simply copy the files to `vendor`.
-- **project:** This denotes a project rather than a library. For example
-  application shells like the [Symfony standard edition](https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard),
-  CMSs like the [SilverStripe installer](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-installer)
-  or full fledged applications distributed as packages. This can for example
-  be used by IDEs to provide listings of projects to initialize when creating
-  a new workspace.
-- **metapackage:** An empty package that contains requirements and will trigger
-  their installation, but contains no files and will not write anything to the
-  filesystem. As such, it does not require a dist or source key to be
-  installable.
-- **composer-plugin:** A package of type `composer-plugin` may provide an
-  installer for other packages that have a custom type. Read more in the
-  [dedicated article](articles/custom-installers.md).
-Only use a custom type if you need custom logic during installation. It is
-recommended to omit this field and have it default to `library`.
-### keywords
-An array of keywords that the package is related to. These can be used for
-searching and filtering.
-Examples:
-- logging
-- events
-- database
-- redis
-- templating
-Optional.
-### homepage
-An URL to the website of the project.
-Optional.
-### readme
-A relative path to the readme document.
-Optional.
-### time
-Release date of the version.
-Must be in `YYYY-MM-DD` or `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` format.
-Optional.
-### license
-The license of the package. This can be either a string or an array of strings.
-The recommended notation for the most common licenses is (alphabetical):
-- Apache-2.0
-- BSD-2-Clause
-- BSD-3-Clause
-- BSD-4-Clause
-- GPL-2.0-only / GPL-2.0-or-later
-- GPL-3.0-only / GPL-3.0-or-later
-- LGPL-2.1-only / LGPL-2.1-or-later
-- LGPL-3.0-only / LGPL-3.0-or-later
-- MIT
-Optional, but it is highly recommended to supply this. More identifiers are
-listed at the [SPDX Open Source License Registry](https://spdx.org/licenses/).
-For closed-source software, you may use `"proprietary"` as the license identifier.
-An Example:
-```json
-{
-    "license": "MIT"
-}
-```
-For a package, when there is a choice between licenses ("disjunctive license"),
-multiple can be specified as array.
-An Example for disjunctive licenses:
-```json
-{
-    "license": [
-       "LGPL-2.1-only",
-       "GPL-3.0-or-later"
-    ]
-}
-```
-Alternatively they can be separated with "or" and enclosed in parenthesis;
-```json
-{
-    "license": "(LGPL-2.1-only or GPL-3.0-or-later)"
-}
-```
-Similarly when multiple licenses need to be applied ("conjunctive license"),
-they should be separated with "and" and enclosed in parenthesis.
-### authors
-The authors of the package. This is an array of objects.
-Each author object can have following properties:
-* **name:** The author's name. Usually their real name.
-* **email:** The author's email address.
-* **homepage:** An URL to the author's website.
-* **role:** The author's role in the project (e.g. developer or translator)
-An example:
-```json
-{
-    "authors": [
-        {
-            "name": "Nils Adermann",
-            "email": "naderman@naderman.de",
-            "homepage": "http://www.naderman.de",
-            "role": "Developer"
-        },
-        {
-            "name": "Jordi Boggiano",
-            "email": "j.boggiano@seld.be",
-            "homepage": "https://seld.be",
-            "role": "Developer"
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-Optional, but highly recommended.
-### support
-Various information to get support about the project.
-Support information includes the following:
-* **email:** Email address for support.
-* **issues:** URL to the issue tracker.
-* **forum:** URL to the forum.
-* **wiki:** URL to the wiki.
-* **irc:** IRC channel for support, as irc://server/channel.
-* **source:** URL to browse or download the sources.
-* **docs:** URL to the documentation.
-* **rss:** URL to the RSS feed.
-* **chat:** URL to the chat channel.
-An example:
-```json
-{
-    "support": {
-        "email": "support@example.org",
-        "irc": "irc://irc.freenode.org/composer"
-    }
-}
-```
-Optional.
-### Package links
-All of the following take an object which maps package names to
-versions of the package via version constraints. Read more about
-versions [here](articles/versions.md).
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "require": {
-        "monolog/monolog": "1.0.*"
-    }
-}
-```
-All links are optional fields.
-`require` and `require-dev` additionally support stability flags ([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package)).
-These allow you to further restrict or expand the stability of a package beyond
-the scope of the [minimum-stability](#minimum-stability) setting. You can apply
-them to a constraint, or apply them to an empty constraint if you want to
-allow unstable packages of a dependency for example.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "require": {
-        "monolog/monolog": "1.0.*@beta",
-        "acme/foo": "@dev"
-    }
-}
-```
-If one of your dependencies has a dependency on an unstable package you need to
-explicitly require it as well, along with its sufficient stability flag.
-Example:
-Assuming `doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle` requires `"doctrine/data-fixtures": "dev-master"`
-then inside the root composer.json you need to add the second line below to allow dev
-releases for the `doctrine/data-fixtures` package :
-```json
-{
-    "require": {
-        "doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle": "dev-master",
-        "doctrine/data-fixtures": "@dev"
-    }
-}
-```
-`require` and `require-dev` additionally support explicit references (i.e.
-commit) for dev versions to make sure they are locked to a given state, even
-when you run update. These only work if you explicitly require a dev version
-and append the reference with `#<ref>`. This is also a
-[root-only](04-schema.md#root-package) feature and will be ignored in
-dependencies.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "require": {
-        "monolog/monolog": "dev-master#2eb0c0978d290a1c45346a1955188929cb4e5db7",
-        "acme/foo": "1.0.x-dev#abc123"
-    }
-}
-```
-> **Note:** This feature has severe technical limitations, as the
-> composer.json metadata will still be read from the branch name you specify
-> before the hash. You should therefore only use this as a temporary solution
-> during development to remediate transient issues, until you can switch to
-> tagged releases. The Composer team does not actively support this feature
-> and will not accept bug reports related to it.
-It is also possible to inline-alias a package constraint so that it matches
-a constraint that it otherwise would not. For more information [see the
-aliases article](articles/aliases.md).
-`require` and `require-dev` also support references to specific PHP versions
-and PHP extensions your project needs to run successfully.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "require" : {
-        "php" : "^5.5 || ^7.0",
-        "ext-mbstring": "*"
-    }
-}
-```
-> **Note:** It is important to list PHP extensions your project requires.
-> Not all PHP installations are created equal: some may miss extensions you
-> may consider as standard (such as `ext-mysqli` which is not installed by
-> default in Fedora/CentOS minimal installation systems). Failure to list
-> required PHP extensions may lead to a bad user experience: Composer will
-> install your package without any errors but it will then fail at run-time.
-> The `composer show --platform` command lists all PHP extensions available on
-> your system. You may use it to help you compile the list of extensions you
-> use and require. Alternatively you may use third party tools to analyze
-> your project for the list of extensions used.
-#### require
-Lists packages required by this package. The package will not be installed
-unless those requirements can be met.
-#### require-dev <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-Lists packages required for developing this package, or running
-tests, etc. The dev requirements of the root package are installed by default.
-Both `install` or `update` support the `--no-dev` option that prevents dev
-dependencies from being installed.
-#### conflict
-Lists packages that conflict with this version of this package. They
-will not be allowed to be installed together with your package.
-Note that when specifying ranges like `<1.0 >=1.1` in a `conflict` link,
-this will state a conflict with all versions that are less than 1.0 *and* equal
-or newer than 1.1 at the same time, which is probably not what you want. You
-probably want to go for `<1.0 || >=1.1` in this case.
-#### replace
-Lists packages that are replaced by this package. This allows you to fork a
-package, publish it under a different name with its own version numbers, while
-packages requiring the original package continue to work with your fork because
-it replaces the original package.
-This is also useful for packages that contain sub-packages, for example the main
-symfony/symfony package contains all the Symfony Components which are also
-available as individual packages. If you require the main package it will
-automatically fulfill any requirement of one of the individual components,
-since it replaces them.
-Caution is advised when using replace for the sub-package purpose explained
-above. You should then typically only replace using `self.version` as a version
-constraint, to make sure the main package only replaces the sub-packages of
-that exact version, and not any other version, which would be incorrect.
-#### provide
-List of other packages that are provided by this package. This is mostly
-useful for common interfaces. A package could depend on some virtual
-`logger` package, any library that implements this logger interface would
-simply list it in `provide`.
-#### suggest
-Suggested packages that can enhance or work well with this package. These are
-informational and are displayed after the package is installed, to give
-your users a hint that they could add more packages, even though they are not
-strictly required.
-The format is like package links above, except that the values are free text
-and not version constraints.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "suggest": {
-        "monolog/monolog": "Allows more advanced logging of the application flow",
-        "ext-xml": "Needed to support XML format in class Foo"
-    }
-}
-```
-### autoload
-Autoload mapping for a PHP autoloader.
-[`PSR-4`](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/) and [`PSR-0`](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-0/)
-autoloading, `classmap` generation and `files` includes are supported.
-PSR-4 is the recommended way since it offers greater ease of use (no need
-to regenerate the autoloader when you add classes).
-#### PSR-4
-Under the `psr-4` key you define a mapping from namespaces to paths, relative to the
-package root. When autoloading a class like `Foo\\Bar\\Baz` a namespace prefix
-`Foo\\` pointing to a directory `src/` means that the autoloader will look for a
-file named `src/Bar/Baz.php` and include it if present. Note that as opposed to
-the older PSR-0 style, the prefix (`Foo\\`) is **not** present in the file path.
-Namespace prefixes must end in `\\` to avoid conflicts between similar prefixes.
-For example `Foo` would match classes in the `FooBar` namespace so the trailing
-backslashes solve the problem: `Foo\\` and `FooBar\\` are distinct.
-The PSR-4 references are all combined, during install/update, into a single
-key => value array which may be found in the generated file
-`vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php`.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-4": {
-            "Monolog\\": "src/",
-            "Vendor\\Namespace\\": ""
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-If you need to search for a same prefix in multiple directories,
-you can specify them as an array as such:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-4": { "Monolog\\": ["src/", "lib/"] }
-    }
-}
-```
-If you want to have a fallback directory where any namespace will be looked for,
-you can use an empty prefix like:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-4": { "": "src/" }
-    }
-}
-```
-#### PSR-0
-Under the `psr-0` key you define a mapping from namespaces to paths, relative to the
-package root. Note that this also supports the PEAR-style non-namespaced convention.
-Please note namespace declarations should end in `\\` to make sure the autoloader
-responds exactly. For example `Foo` would match in `FooBar` so the trailing
-backslashes solve the problem: `Foo\\` and `FooBar\\` are distinct.
-The PSR-0 references are all combined, during install/update, into a single key => value
-array which may be found in the generated file `vendor/composer/autoload_namespaces.php`.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-0": {
-            "Monolog\\": "src/",
-            "Vendor\\Namespace\\": "src/",
-            "Vendor_Namespace_": "src/"
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-If you need to search for a same prefix in multiple directories,
-you can specify them as an array as such:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-0": { "Monolog\\": ["src/", "lib/"] }
-    }
-}
-```
-The PSR-0 style is not limited to namespace declarations only but may be
-specified right down to the class level. This can be useful for libraries with
-only one class in the global namespace. If the php source file is also located
-in the root of the package, for example, it may be declared like this:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-0": { "UniqueGlobalClass": "" }
-    }
-}
-```
-If you want to have a fallback directory where any namespace can be, you can
-use an empty prefix like:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-0": { "": "src/" }
-    }
-}
-```
-#### Classmap
-The `classmap` references are all combined, during install/update, into a single
-key => value array which may be found in the generated file
-`vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php`. This map is built by scanning for
-classes in all `.php` and `.inc` files in the given directories/files.
-You can use the classmap generation support to define autoloading for all libraries
-that do not follow PSR-0/4. To configure this you specify all directories or files
-to search for classes.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "classmap": ["src/", "lib/", "Something.php"]
-    }
-}
-```
-#### Files
-If you want to require certain files explicitly on every request then you can use
-the `files` autoloading mechanism. This is useful if your package includes PHP functions
-that cannot be autoloaded by PHP.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "files": ["src/MyLibrary/functions.php"]
-    }
-}
-```
-#### Exclude files from classmaps
-If you want to exclude some files or folders from the classmap you can use the `exclude-from-classmap` property.
-This might be useful to exclude test classes in your live environment, for example, as those will be skipped
-from the classmap even when building an optimized autoloader.
-The classmap generator will ignore all files in the paths configured here. The paths are absolute from the package
-root directory (i.e. composer.json location), and support `*` to match anything but a slash, and `**` to
-match anything. `**` is implicitly added to the end of the paths.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "exclude-from-classmap": ["/Tests/", "/test/", "/tests/"]
-    }
-}
-```
-#### Optimizing the autoloader
-The autoloader can have quite a substantial impact on your request time
-(50-100ms per request in large frameworks using a lot of classes). See the
-[article about optimizing the autoloader](articles/autoloader-optimization.md)
-for more details on how to reduce this impact.
-### autoload-dev <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-This section allows to define autoload rules for development purposes.
-Classes needed to run the test suite should not be included in the main autoload
-rules to avoid polluting the autoloader in production and when other people use
-your package as a dependency.
-Therefore, it is a good idea to rely on a dedicated path for your unit tests
-and to add it within the autoload-dev section.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-4": { "MyLibrary\\": "src/" }
-    },
-    "autoload-dev": {
-        "psr-4": { "MyLibrary\\Tests\\": "tests/" }
-    }
-}
-```
-### include-path
-> **DEPRECATED**: This is only present to support legacy projects, and all new code
-> should preferably use autoloading. As such it is a deprecated practice, but the
-> feature itself will not likely disappear from Composer.
-A list of paths which should get appended to PHP's `include_path`.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "include-path": ["lib/"]
-}
-```
-Optional.
-### target-dir
-> **DEPRECATED**: This is only present to support legacy PSR-0 style autoloading,
-> and all new code should preferably use PSR-4 without target-dir and projects
-> using PSR-0 with PHP namespaces are encouraged to migrate to PSR-4 instead.
-Defines the installation target.
-In case the package root is below the namespace declaration you cannot
-autoload properly. `target-dir` solves this problem.
-An example is Symfony. There are individual packages for the components. The
-Yaml component is under `Symfony\Component\Yaml`. The package root is that
-`Yaml` directory. To make autoloading possible, we need to make sure that it
-is not installed into `vendor/symfony/yaml`, but instead into
-`vendor/symfony/yaml/Symfony/Component/Yaml`, so that the autoloader can load
-it from `vendor/symfony/yaml`.
-To do that, `autoload` and `target-dir` are defined as follows:
-```json
-{
-    "autoload": {
-        "psr-0": { "Symfony\\Component\\Yaml\\": "" }
-    },
-    "target-dir": "Symfony/Component/Yaml"
-}
-```
-Optional.
-### minimum-stability <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-This defines the default behavior for filtering packages by stability. This
-defaults to `stable`, so if you rely on a `dev` package, you should specify
-it in your file to avoid surprises.
-All versions of each package are checked for stability, and those that are less
-stable than the `minimum-stability` setting will be ignored when resolving
-your project dependencies. (Note that you can also specify stability requirements
-on a per-package basis using stability flags in the version constraints that you
-specify in a `require` block (see [package links](#package-links) for more details).
-Available options (in order of stability) are `dev`, `alpha`, `beta`, `RC`,
-and `stable`.
-### prefer-stable <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-When this is enabled, Composer will prefer more stable packages over unstable
-ones when finding compatible stable packages is possible. If you require a
-dev version or only alphas are available for a package, those will still be
-selected granted that the minimum-stability allows for it.
-Use `"prefer-stable": true` to enable.
-### repositories <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-Custom package repositories to use.
-By default Composer only uses the packagist repository. By specifying
-repositories you can get packages from elsewhere.
-Repositories are not resolved recursively. You can only add them to your main
-`composer.json`. Repository declarations of dependencies' `composer.json`s are
-ignored.
-The following repository types are supported:
-* **composer:** A Composer repository is simply a `packages.json` file served
-  via the network (HTTP, FTP, SSH), that contains a list of `composer.json`
-  objects with additional `dist` and/or `source` information. The `packages.json`
-  file is loaded using a PHP stream. You can set extra options on that stream
-  using the `options` parameter.
-* **vcs:** The version control system repository can fetch packages from git,
-  svn, fossil and hg repositories.
-* **pear:** With this you can import any pear repository into your Composer
-  project.
-* **package:** If you depend on a project that does not have any support for
-  composer whatsoever you can define the package inline using a `package`
-  repository. You basically inline the `composer.json` object.
-For more information on any of these, see [Repositories](05-repositories.md).
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "repositories": [
-        {
-            "type": "composer",
-            "url": "http://packages.example.com"
-        },
-        {
-            "type": "composer",
-            "url": "https://packages.example.com",
-            "options": {
-                "ssl": {
-                    "verify_peer": "true"
-                }
-            }
-        },
-        {
-            "type": "vcs",
-            "url": "https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog"
-        },
-        {
-            "type": "pear",
-            "url": "https://pear2.php.net"
-        },
-        {
-            "type": "package",
-            "package": {
-                "name": "smarty/smarty",
-                "version": "3.1.7",
-                "dist": {

-> **Note:** Order is significant here. When looking for a package, Composer
-will look from the first to the last repository, and pick the first match.
-By default Packagist is added last which means that custom repositories can
-override packages from it.
-Using JSON object notation is also possible. However, JSON key/value pairs
-are to be considered unordered so consistent behaviour cannot be guaranteed.
- ```json
-{
-    "repositories": {
-         "foo": {
-             "type": "composer",
-             "url": "http://packages.foo.com"
-         }
-    }

-### config <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-A set of configuration options. It is only used for projects. See
-[Config](06-config.md) for a description of each individual option.
-### scripts <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
-Composer allows you to hook into various parts of the installation process
-through the use of scripts.
-See [Scripts](articles/scripts.md) for events details and examples.
-### extra
-Arbitrary extra data for consumption by `scripts`.
-This can be virtually anything. To access it from within a script event
-handler, you can do:
-```php
-$extra = $event->getComposer()->getPackage()->getExtra();
-```
-Optional.
-### bin
-A set of files that should be treated as binaries and symlinked into the `bin-dir`
-(from config).
-See [Vendor Binaries](articles/vendor-binaries.md) for more details.
-Optional.
-### archive
-A set of options for creating package archives.
-The following options are supported:
-* **exclude:** Allows configuring a list of patterns for excluded paths. The
-  pattern syntax matches .gitignore files. A leading exclamation mark (!) will
-  result in any matching files to be included even if a previous pattern
-  excluded them. A leading slash will only match at the beginning of the project
-  relative path. An asterisk will not expand to a directory separator.
-Example:
-```json
-{
-    "archive": {
-        "exclude": ["/foo/bar", "baz", "/*.test", "!/foo/bar/baz"]
-    }
-}
-```
-The example will include `/dir/foo/bar/file`, `/foo/bar/baz`, `/file.php`,
-`/foo/my.test` but it will exclude `/foo/bar/any`, `/foo/baz`, and `/my.test`.
-Optional.
-### abandoned
-Indicates whether this package has been abandoned.
-It can be boolean or a package name/URL pointing to a recommended alternative.
-Examples:
-Use `"abandoned": true` to indicates this package is abandoned.
-Use `"abandoned": "monolog/monolog"` to indicates this package is abandoned and the
-recommended alternative is  `monolog/monolog`.
-Defaults to false.
-Optional.
-### non-feature-branches
-A list of regex patterns of branch names that are non-numeric (e.g. "latest" or something),
-that will NOT be handled as feature branches. This is an array of strings.
-If you have non-numeric branch names, for example like "latest", "current", "latest-stable"
-or something, that do not look like a version number, then Composer handles such branches
-as feature branches. This means it searches for parent branches, that look like a version
-or ends at special branches (like master) and the root package version number becomes the
-version of the parent branch or at least master or something.
-To handle non-numeric named branches as versions instead of searching for a parent branch
-with a valid version or special branch name like master, you can set patterns for branch
-names, that should be handled as dev version branches.
-This is really helpful when you have dependencies using "self.version", so that not dev-master,
-but the same branch is installed (in the example: latest-testing).
-An example:
-If you have a testing branch, that is heavily maintained during a testing phase and is
-deployed to your staging environment, normally `composer show -s` will give you `versions : * dev-master`.
-If you configure `latest-.*` as a pattern for non-feature-branches like this:
-```json
-{
-    "non-feature-branches": ["latest-.*"]
-}
-```
-Then `composer show -s` will give you `versions : * dev-latest-testing`.
-Optional.
