# OCI Image Manifest Specification
There are three main goals of the Image Manifest Specification.
The first goal is content-addressable images, by supporting an image model where the image's configuration can be hashed to generate a unique ID for the image and its components.
The second goal is to allow multi-architecture images, through a "fat manifest" which references image manifests for platform-specific versions of an image.
In OCI, this is codified in an [image index](image-index.md).
The third goal is to be [translatable](conversion.md) to the [OCI Runtime Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec).
This section defines the `application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json` [media type](media-types.md).
For the media type(s) that this is compatible with see the [matrix](media-types.md#compatibility-matrix).
# Image Manifest
Unlike the [image index](image-index.md), which contains information about a set of images that can span a variety of architectures and operating systems, an image manifest provides a configuration and set of layers for a single container image for a specific architecture and operating system.
## *Image Manifest* Property Descriptions
- **`schemaVersion`** *int*
This REQUIRED property specifies the image manifest schema version.
For this version of the specification, this MUST be `2` to ensure backward compatibility with older versions of Docker. The value of this field will not change. This field MAY be removed in a future version of the specification.
- **`mediaType`** *string*
This property is *reserved* for use, to [maintain compatibility](media-types.md#compatibility-matrix).
When used, this field contains the media type of this document, which differs from the [descriptor](descriptor.md#properties) use of `mediaType`.
- **`config`** *[descriptor](descriptor.md)*
This REQUIRED property references a configuration object for a container, by digest.
Beyond the [descriptor requirements](descriptor.md#properties), the value has the following additional restrictions:
- **`mediaType`** *string*
This [descriptor property](descriptor.md#properties) has additional restrictions for `config`.
Implementations MUST support at least the following media types:
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json`](config.md)
Manifests concerned with portability SHOULD use one of the above media types.
- **`layers`** *array of objects*
Each item in the array MUST be a [descriptor](descriptor.md).
The array MUST have the base layer at index 0.
Subsequent layers MUST then follow in stack order (i.e. from `layers[0]` to `layers[len(layers)-1]`).
The final filesystem layout MUST match the result of [applying](layer.md#applying-changesets) the layers to an empty directory.
The [ownership, mode, and other attributes](layer.md#file-attributes) of the initial empty directory are unspecified.
Beyond the [descriptor requirements](descriptor.md#properties), the value has the following additional restrictions:
- **`mediaType`** *string*
This [descriptor property](descriptor.md#properties) has additional restrictions for `layers[]`.
Implementations MUST support at least the following media types:
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar`](layer.md)
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip`](layer.md#gzip-media-types)
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.layer.nondistributable.v1.tar`](layer.md#non-distributable-layers)
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.layer.nondistributable.v1.tar+gzip`](layer.md#gzip-media-types)
Manifests concerned with portability SHOULD use one of the above media types.
Entries in this field will frequently use the `+gzip` types.
- **`annotations`** *string-string map*
This OPTIONAL property contains arbitrary metadata for the image manifest.
This OPTIONAL property MUST use the [annotation rules](annotations.md#rules).
See [Pre-Defined Annotation Keys](annotations.md#pre-defined-annotation-keys).
