Validation Standard Guidelines

1. Mandatory Properties

A valid package manifest requires both a name and a version string field to be recognized by npm registries.

2. Naming Restrictions

Package names cannot contain capital letters, spaces, or special characters, and must be URL-safe under npm repository guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

JSON requires strict adherence to double-quote syntax and trailing comma rules. A single stray comma or missing quote will prevent npm from parsing dependencies correctly.

Package names must be lowercase, shorter than 214 characters, and cannot start with a dot or underscore. They may contain hyphens or periods.

Version numbers and range specifiers (like ^1.0.0 or ~2.1.0) must follow proper version formatting so package managers can correctly resolve updates.
