Introduction {#intro}
=====================

This proposal defines a list of keys that represent various runtime environments.

These keys can be used in a variety of ways, and should be considered a reliable representation of the given runtime.

For example, they may be used in a project configuration file to indicate the given project supports the specified runtime.

This specification does not detail <i>how</i> the keys can be used; that is left up to community developed tools.

The point of this proposal is to only define <i>what</i> the keys are in order to prevent conflicts, and provide users a reliable list of platforms they can build tooling around.

Inclusion in this registry does not imply that the specified runtime is conformant with the WinterCG [Minimum Common API](https://proposal-common-min-api.deno.dev/).

Inclusing in this registry does not imply endorsement of any kind.

## Example Usage ## {#example-usage}

One example of how these keys <i>may</i> be used (remember, this proposal <strong>does not specify</strong> <i>how</i> the keys are to be used) is within `package.json` files for projects hosted on npm.

The following `package.json` file demonstrates a library that exports seperate outputs for Node.js and Deno, as well as specifies which versions of each runtime it supports.

```json
{
"name": "the-library",
"version": "1.0.0",
"exports": {
"node": "./dist/node/index.js",
"deno": "./dist/deno/index.js"
},
"engines": {
"node": ">=16",
"deno": ">=1.10"
}
}
```

Just a couple of items here from the discussion today:

  1. We need specific language added here that no endorsement of this spec or wintercg is implied by listing a company or organization or project in this registry.
  2. We need specific language added that indicates inclusion in this registry does not imply that the runtime is conformant with the wintercg minimum common api.

is it JavaScript/Webassembly ? or just JS ? (I don't find any reference of webassembly on the doc - but only did a quick search)

It is JavaScript/Webassembly. Currently, there is no doc for Webassembly but the doc will be updated to add Webassembly shortly.

Key Management {#key-management}
================================

## Adding a key ## {#adding-a-key}

All JavaScript runtimes are welcome to create a key and add it to this list. New keys must not conflict with another existing key. Runtime entries on this list are encouraged, but not required, to participate in the community group.

To propose a new key, create a pull request in [runtime-keys](https://github.com/wintercg/runtime-keys) repository that adds the desired key to the `index.bs` file using the following format:

```md
## <Runtime Organization> - <Runtime Name> ## {#<Runtime Key>}

<Runtime Description>

Key: \`<Runtime Key>\`

Website: [<Runtime Website>](<Runtime Website>)

Repository: [<Runtime Repository>](<Runtime Repository>)
```

The key should be inserted in alphabetical order based on the first character of the Runtime Organization.

Keys should meaningfully represent the relative runtime and be a simple, string-like value so it can be used in common configuration formats such as JSON and YAML.

Keys should also not conflict with existing [Browserlist entries](https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist#browsers).

Entry pull requests must be approved by at least two active members of the community group that are not directly affiliated with the proposed runtime.

## Modifying a key ## {#modifying-a-key}

Modifying an entry requires opening a pull request and recieving two approvals from active community group members not affiliated with the relative runtime project.

Modifications can be made to aspects such as the Organization, Name, Description, Website, and Repository.

Aside from extraordinary circumstances, to prevent breaking tools built around this list, <b>Keys are not modifiable</b>.

Keys may be deprecated to indicate inactive runtime projects.

Deprecated Keys may be undeprecated and claimed by another runtime.

To deprecate or undeprecate a key, open a pull request adding or removing `<b>[Deprecated]</b>` from the Name:

```diff
+ ## <b>[Deprecated]</b> <Runtime Organization> - <Runtime Name> ## {#<Runtime Key>}
- ## <Runtime Organization> - <Runtime Name> ## {#<Runtime Key>}
```
