Introduction
============
CMake provides a file-based API that clients may use to get semantic
information about the buildsystems CMake generates. Clients may use
the API by writing query files to a specific location in a build tree
to request zero or more `Object Kinds`_. When CMake generates the
buildsystem in that build tree it will read the query files and write
reply files for the client to read.
The file-based API uses a ``<build>/.cmake/api/`` directory at the top
of a build tree. The API is versioned to support changes to the layout
of files within the API directory. API file layout versioning is
orthogonal to the versioning of `Object Kinds`_ used in replies.
This version of CMake supports only one API version, `API v1`_.
.. versionadded:: 3.27
Projects may also submit queries for the current run using the
:command:`cmake_file_api` command.
.. _`file-api v1`:
API v1
======
API v1 is housed in the ``<build>/.cmake/api/v1/`` directory.
It has the following subdirectories:
``query/``
Holds query files written by clients.
These may be `v1 Shared Stateless Query Files`_,
`v1 Client Stateless Query Files`_, or `v1 Client Stateful Query Files`_.
``reply/``
Holds reply files written by CMake whenever it runs to generate a build
system. These are indexed by a `v1 Reply Index File`_ file that may
reference additional `v1 Reply Files`_. CMake owns all reply files.
Clients must never remove them.
Clients may look for and read a reply index file at any time.
Clients may optionally create the ``reply/`` directory at any time
and monitor it for the appearance of a new reply index file.
.. versionadded:: 3.31
Users can add query files to ``api/v1/query`` inside the
:envvar:`CMAKE_CONFIG_DIR` to create user-wide queries for all CMake projects.
v1 Shared Stateless Query Files
-------------------------------
Shared stateless query files allow clients to share requests for
major versions of the `Object Kinds`_ and get all requested versions
recognized by the CMake that runs.
Clients may create shared requests by creating empty files in the
``v1/query/`` directory. The form is::
<build>/.cmake/api/v1/query/<kind>-v<major>
where ``<kind>`` is one of the `Object Kinds`_, ``-v`` is literal,
and ``<major>`` is the major version number.
Files of this form are stateless shared queries not owned by any specific
client. Once created they should not be removed without external client
coordination or human intervention.
v1 Client Stateless Query Files
-------------------------------
Client stateless query files allow clients to create owned requests for
major versions of the `Object Kinds`_ and get all requested versions
recognized by the CMake that runs.
Clients may create owned requests by creating empty files in
client-specific query subdirectories. The form is::
<build>/.cmake/api/v1/query/client-<client>/<kind>-v<major>
where ``client-`` is literal, ``<client>`` is a string uniquely
identifying the client, ``<kind>`` is one of the `Object Kinds`_,
``-v`` is literal, and ``<major>`` is the major version number.
Each client must choose a unique ``<client>`` identifier via its
own means.
Files of this form are stateless queries owned by the client ``<client>``.
The owning client may remove them at any time.
v1 Client Stateful Query Files
------------------------------
Stateful query files allow clients to request a list of versions of
each of the `Object Kinds`_ and get only the most recent version
recognized by the CMake that runs.
Clients may create owned stateful queries by creating ``query.json``
files in client-specific query subdirectories. The form is::
<build>/.cmake/api/v1/query/client-<client>/query.json
where ``client-`` is literal, ``<client>`` is a string uniquely
identifying the client, and ``query.json`` is literal. Each client
must choose a unique ``<client>`` identifier via its own means.
``query.json`` files are stateful queries owned by the client ``<client>``.
The owning client may update or remove them at any time. When a
given client installation is updated it may then update the stateful
query it writes to build trees to request newer object versions.
This can be used to avoid asking CMake to generate multiple object
versions unnecessarily.
A ``query.json`` file must contain a JSON object:
.. code-block:: json
{
"requests": [
{ "kind": "<kind>" , "version": 1 },
{ "kind": "<kind>" , "version": { "major": 1, "minor": 2 } },
{ "kind": "<kind>" , "version": [2, 1] },
{ "kind": "<kind>" , "version": [2, { "major": 1, "minor": 2 }] },
{ "kind": "<kind>" , "version": 1, "client": {} },
{ "kind": "..." }
],
"client": {}
}
The members are:
``requests``
A JSON array containing zero or more requests. Each request is
a JSON object with members:
``kind``
Specifies one of the `Object Kinds`_ to be included in the reply.
``version``
Indicates the version(s) of the object kind that the client
understands. Versions have major and minor components following
semantic version conventions. The value must be
* a JSON integer specifying a (non-negative) major version number, or
* a JSON object containing ``major`` and (optionally) ``minor``
members specifying non-negative integer version components, or
* a JSON array whose elements are each one of the above.
``client``
Optional member reserved for use by the client. This value is
preserved in the reply written for the client in the
`v1 Reply Index File`_ but is otherwise ignored. Clients may use
this to pass custom information with a request through to its reply.
For each requested object kind CMake will choose the *first* version
that it recognizes for that kind among those listed in the request.
The response will use the selected *major* version with the highest
*minor* version known to the running CMake for that major version.
Therefore clients should list all supported major versions in
preferred order along with the minimal minor version required
for each major version.
``client``
Optional member reserved for use by the client. This value is
preserved in the reply written for the client in the
`v1 Reply Index File`_ but is otherwise ignored. Clients may use
this to pass custom information with a query through to its reply.
Other ``query.json`` top-level members are reserved for future use.
If present they are ignored for forward compatibility.
v1 Reply Index File
-------------------
CMake writes an ``index-*.json`` file to the ``v1/reply/`` directory
whenever it runs to generate a build system. Clients must read the
reply index file first and may read other `v1 Reply Files`_ only by
following references. The form of the reply index file name is::
<build>/.cmake/api/v1/reply/index-<unspecified>.json
where ``index-`` is literal and ``<unspecified>`` is an unspecified
name selected by CMake. Whenever a new index file is generated it
is given a new name and any old one is deleted. During the short
time between these steps there may be multiple index files present;
the one with the largest name in lexicographic order is the current
index file.
The reply index file contains a JSON object:
.. code-block:: json
{
"cmake": {
"version": {
"major": 3, "minor": 14, "patch": 0, "suffix": "",
"string": "3.14.0", "isDirty": false
},
"paths": {
"cmake": "/prefix/bin/cmake",
"ctest": "/prefix/bin/ctest",
"cpack": "/prefix/bin/cpack",
"root": "/prefix/share/cmake-3.14"
},
"generator": {
"multiConfig": false,
"name": "Unix Makefiles"
}
},
"objects": [
{ "kind": "<kind>",
"version": { "major": 1, "minor": 0 },
"jsonFile": "<file>" },
{ "...": "..." }
],
"reply": {
"<kind>-v<major>": { "kind": "<kind>",
"version": { "major": 1, "minor": 0 },
"jsonFile": "<file>" },
"<unknown>": { "error": "unknown query file" },
"...": {},
"client-<client>": {
"<kind>-v<major>": { "kind": "<kind>",
"version": { "major": 1, "minor": 0 },
"jsonFile": "<file>" },
"<unknown>": { "error": "unknown query file" },
"...": {},
"query.json": {
"requests": [ {}, {}, {} ],
"responses": [
{ "kind": "<kind>",
"version": { "major": 1, "minor": 0 },
"jsonFile": "<file>" },
{ "error": "unknown query file" },
{ "...": {} }
],
"client": {}
}
}
}
}
The members are:
``cmake``
A JSON object containing information about the instance of CMake that
generated the reply. It contains members:
``version``
A JSON object specifying the version of CMake with members:
``major``, ``minor``, ``patch``
Integer values specifying the major, minor, and patch version components.
``suffix``
A string specifying the version suffix, if any, e.g. ``g0abc3``.
``string``
A string specifying the full version in the format
``<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-<suffix>]``.
``isDirty``
A boolean indicating whether the version was built from a version
controlled source tree with local modifications.
``paths``
A JSON object specifying paths to things that come with CMake.
It has members for :program:`cmake`, :program:`ctest`, and :program:`cpack`
whose values are JSON strings specifying the absolute path to each tool,
represented with forward slashes. It also has a ``root`` member for
the absolute path to the directory containing CMake resources like the
``Modules/`` directory (see :variable:`CMAKE_ROOT`).
``generator``
A JSON object describing the CMake generator used for the build.
It has members:
``multiConfig``
A boolean specifying whether the generator supports multiple output
configurations.
``name``
A string specifying the name of the generator.
``platform``
If the generator supports :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`,
this is a string specifying the generator platform name.
``objects``
A JSON array listing all versions of all `Object Kinds`_ generated
as part of the reply. Each array entry is a
`v1 Reply File Reference`_.
``reply``
A JSON object mirroring the content of the ``query/`` directory
that CMake loaded to produce the reply. The members are of the form
``<kind>-v<major>``
A member of this form appears for each of the
`v1 Shared Stateless Query Files`_ that CMake recognized as a
request for object kind ``<kind>`` with major version ``<major>``.
The value is a `v1 Reply File Reference`_ to the corresponding
reply file for that object kind and version.
``<unknown>``
A member of this form appears for each of the
`v1 Shared Stateless Query Files`_ that CMake did not recognize.
The value is a JSON object with a single ``error`` member
containing a string with an error message indicating that the
query file is unknown.
``client-<client>``
A member of this form appears for each client-owned directory
holding `v1 Client Stateless Query Files`_.
The value is a JSON object mirroring the content of the
``query/client-<client>/`` directory. The members are of the form:
``<kind>-v<major>``
A member of this form appears for each of the
`v1 Client Stateless Query Files`_ that CMake recognized as a
request for object kind ``<kind>`` with major version ``<major>``.
The value is a `v1 Reply File Reference`_ to the corresponding
reply file for that object kind and version.
``<unknown>``
A member of this form appears for each of the
`v1 Client Stateless Query Files`_ that CMake did not recognize.
The value is a JSON object with a single ``error`` member
containing a string with an error message indicating that the
query file is unknown.
``query.json``
This member appears for clients using
`v1 Client Stateful Query Files`_.
If the ``query.json`` file failed to read or parse as a JSON object,
this member is a JSON object with a single ``error`` member
containing a string with an error message. Otherwise, this member
is a JSON object mirroring the content of the ``query.json`` file.
The members are:
``client``
A copy of the ``query.json`` file ``client`` member, if it exists.
``requests``
A copy of the ``query.json`` file ``requests`` member, if it exists.
``responses``
If the ``query.json`` file ``requests`` member is missing or invalid,
this member is a JSON object with a single ``error`` member
containing a string with an error message. Otherwise, this member
contains a JSON array with a response for each entry of the
``requests`` array, in the same order. Each response is
* a JSON object with a single ``error`` member containing a string
with an error message, or
* a `v1 Reply File Reference`_ to the corresponding reply file for
the requested object kind and selected version.
After reading the reply index file, clients may read the other
`v1 Reply Files`_ it references.
v1 Reply File Reference
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The reply index file represents each reference to another reply file
using a JSON object with members:
``kind``
A string specifying one of the `Object Kinds`_.
``version``
A JSON object with members ``major`` and ``minor`` specifying
integer version components of the object kind.
``jsonFile``
A JSON string specifying a path relative to the reply index file
to another JSON file containing the object.
v1 Reply Files
--------------
Reply files containing specific `Object Kinds`_ are written by CMake.
The names of these files are unspecified and must not be interpreted
by clients. Clients must first read the `v1 Reply Index File`_ and
follow references to the names of the desired response objects.
Reply files (including the index file) will never be replaced by
files of the same name but different content. This allows a client
to read the files concurrently with a running CMake that may generate
a new reply. However, after generating a new reply CMake will attempt
to remove reply files from previous runs that it did not just write.
If a client attempts to read a reply file referenced by the index but
finds the file missing, that means a concurrent CMake has generated
a new reply. The client may simply start again by reading the new
reply index file.
.. _`file-api object kinds`:
Object Kinds
============
The CMake file-based API reports semantic information about the build
system using the following kinds of JSON objects. Each kind of object
is versioned independently using semantic versioning with major and
minor components. Every kind of object has the form:
.. code-block:: json
{
"kind": "<kind>",
"version": { "major": 1, "minor": 0 },
"...": {}
}
The ``kind`` member is a string specifying the object kind name.
The ``version`` member is a JSON object with ``major`` and ``minor``
members specifying integer components of the object kind's version.
Additional top-level members are specific to each object kind.
Object Kind "codemodel"
-----------------------
The ``codemodel`` object kind describes the build system structure as
modeled by CMake.
There is only one ``codemodel`` object major version, version 2.
Version 1 does not exist to avoid confusion with that from
:manual:`cmake-server(7)` mode.
"codemodel" version 2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``codemodel`` object version 2 is a JSON object:
.. code-block:: json
{
"kind": "codemodel",
"version": { "major": 2, "minor": 7 },
"paths": {
"source": "/path/to/top-level-source-dir",
"build": "/path/to/top-level-build-dir"
},
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug",
"directories": [
{
"source": ".",
"build": ".",
"childIndexes": [ 1 ],
"projectIndex": 0,
"targetIndexes": [ 0 ],
"hasInstallRule": true,
"minimumCMakeVersion": {
"string": "3.14"
},
"jsonFile": "<file>"
},
{
"source": "sub",
"build": "sub",
"parentIndex": 0,
"projectIndex": 0,
"targetIndexes": [ 1 ],
"minimumCMakeVersion": {
"string": "3.14"
},
"jsonFile": "<file>"
}
],
"projects": [
{
"name": "MyProject",
"directoryIndexes": [ 0, 1 ],
"targetIndexes": [ 0, 1 ]
}
],
"targets": [
{
"name": "MyExecutable",
"directoryIndex": 0,
"projectIndex": 0,
"jsonFile": "<file>"
},
{
"name": "MyLibrary",
"directoryIndex": 1,
"projectIndex": 0,
"jsonFile": "<file>"
}
]
}
]
}
The members specific to ``codemodel`` objects are:
``paths``
A JSON object containing members:
``source``
A string specifying the absolute path to the top-level source directory,
represented with forward slashes.
``build``
A string specifying the absolute path to the top-level build directory,
represented with forward slashes.
``configurations``
A JSON array of entries corresponding to available build configurations.
On single-configuration generators there is one entry for the value
of the :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` variable. For multi-configuration
generators there is an entry for each configuration listed in the
:variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` variable.
Each entry is a JSON object containing members:
``name``
A string specifying the name of the configuration, e.g. ``Debug``.
``directories``
A JSON array of entries each corresponding to a build system directory
whose source directory contains a ``CMakeLists.txt`` file. The first
entry corresponds to the top-level directory. Each entry is a
JSON object containing members:
``source``
A string specifying the path to the source directory, represented
with forward slashes. If the directory is inside the top-level
source directory then the path is specified relative to that
directory (with ``.`` for the top-level source directory itself).
Otherwise the path is absolute.
``build``
A string specifying the path to the build directory, represented
with forward slashes. If the directory is inside the top-level
build directory then the path is specified relative to that
directory (with ``.`` for the top-level build directory itself).
Otherwise the path is absolute.
``parentIndex``
Optional member that is present when the directory is not top-level.
The value is an unsigned integer 0-based index of another entry in
the main ``directories`` array that corresponds to the parent
directory that added this directory as a subdirectory.
``childIndexes``
Optional member that is present when the directory has subdirectories.
The value is a JSON array of entries corresponding to child directories
created by the :command:`add_subdirectory` or :command:`subdirs`
command. Each entry is an unsigned integer 0-based index of another
entry in the main ``directories`` array.
``projectIndex``
An unsigned integer 0-based index into the main ``projects`` array
indicating the build system project to which the this directory belongs.
``targetIndexes``
Optional member that is present when the directory itself has targets,
excluding those belonging to subdirectories. The value is a JSON
array of entries corresponding to the targets. Each entry is an
unsigned integer 0-based index into the main ``targets`` array.
``minimumCMakeVersion``
Optional member present when a minimum required version of CMake is
known for the directory. This is the ``<min>`` version given to the
most local call to the :command:`cmake_minimum_required(VERSION)`
command in the directory itself or one of its ancestors.
The value is a JSON object with one member:
``string``
A string specifying the minimum required version in the format::
<major>.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]][<suffix>]
Each component is an unsigned integer and the suffix may be an
arbitrary string.
``hasInstallRule``
Optional member that is present with boolean value ``true`` when
the directory or one of its subdirectories contains any
:command:`install` rules, i.e. whether a ``make install``
or equivalent rule is available.
``jsonFile``
A JSON string specifying a path relative to the codemodel file
to another JSON file containing a
`"codemodel" version 2 "directory" object`_.
This field was added in codemodel version 2.3.
``projects``
A JSON array of entries corresponding to the top-level project
and sub-projects defined in the build system. Each (sub-)project
corresponds to a source directory whose ``CMakeLists.txt`` file
calls the :command:`project` command with a project name different
from its parent directory. The first entry corresponds to the
top-level project.
Each entry is a JSON object containing members:
``name``
A string specifying the name given to the :command:`project` command.
``parentIndex``
Optional member that is present when the project is not top-level.
The value is an unsigned integer 0-based index of another entry in
the main ``projects`` array that corresponds to the parent project

that are part of the project. The first entry corresponds to the
top-level directory of the project. Each entry is an unsigned
integer 0-based index into the main ``directories`` array.
``targetIndexes``
Optional member that is present when the project itself has targets,
excluding those belonging to sub-projects. The value is a JSON
array of entries corresponding to the targets. Each entry is an
unsigned integer 0-based index into the main ``targets`` array.
``targets``
A JSON array of entries corresponding to the build system targets.
Such targets are created by calls to :command:`add_executable`,
:command:`add_library`, and :command:`add_custom_target`, excluding
imported targets and interface libraries (which do not generate any
build rules). Each entry is a JSON object containing members:
``name``

A string uniquely identifying the target. This matches the ``id``
field in the file referenced by ``jsonFile``.
``directoryIndex``
An unsigned integer 0-based index into the main ``directories`` array
indicating the build system directory in which the target is defined.
``projectIndex``
An unsigned integer 0-based index into the main ``projects`` array
indicating the build system project in which the target is defined.
``jsonFile``
A JSON string specifying a path relative to the codemodel file
to another JSON file containing a
`"codemodel" version 2 "target" object`_.
"codemodel" version 2 "directory" object

object's ``directories`` array. Each "directory" object is a JSON object
with members:
``paths``
A JSON object containing members:
``source``
A string specifying the path to the source directory, represented

source directory then the path is specified relative to that
directory (with ``.`` for the top-level source directory itself).
Otherwise the path is absolute.
``build``
A string specifying the path to the build directory, represented
with forward slashes. If the directory is inside the top-level

Optional member that is present for specific ``type`` values below.
The value is a string specifying the install destination path.
The path may be absolute or relative to the install prefix.
``paths``
Optional member that is present for specific ``type`` values below.
The value is a JSON array of entries corresponding to the paths
(files or directories) to be installed. Each entry is one of:

``from``
A string specifying the path from which a file or directory
is to be installed.
``to``
A string specifying the path to which the file or directory
is to be installed under the destination.
In both cases the paths are represented with forward slashes. If
the "from" path is inside the top-level directory documented by the
corresponding ``type`` value, then the path is specified relative
to that directory. Otherwise the path is absolute.
``type``
A string specifying the type of installation rule. The value is one
of the following, with some variants providing additional members:
``file``
An :command:`install(FILES)` or :command:`install(PROGRAMS)` call.

This is allowed when ``type`` is ``file``, ``directory``, or ``target``.
``targetId``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``target``.
The value is a string uniquely identifying the target to be installed.
This matches the ``id`` member of the target in the main
"codemodel" object's ``targets`` array.
``targetIndex``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``target``.
The value is an unsigned integer 0-based index into the main "codemodel"
object's ``targets`` array for the target to be installed.
``targetIsImportLibrary``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``target`` and
the installer is for a Windows DLL import library file or for an
AIX linker import file. If present, it has boolean value ``true``.
``targetInstallNamelink``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``target`` and
the installer corresponds to a target that may use symbolic links
to implement the :prop_tgt:`VERSION` and :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION`
target properties.
The value is a string indicating how the installer is supposed to
handle the symlinks: ``skip`` means the installer should skip the
symlinks and install only the real file, and ``only`` means the
installer should install only the symlinks and not the real file.
In all cases the ``paths`` member lists what it actually installs.
``exportName``

the ``id`` member of the target in the main "codemodel"
object's ``targets`` array.
``index``
An unsigned integer 0-based index into the main "codemodel"
object's ``targets`` array for the target.
``runtimeDependencySetName``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``runtimeDependencySet``
and the installer was created by an
:command:`install(RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET)` call. The value is a string
specifying the name of the runtime dependency set that was installed.
``runtimeDependencySetType``
Optional member that is present when ``type`` is ``runtimeDependencySet``.
The value is a string with one of the following values:
``library``
