-synopsis: "JSON format changes for store path info and derivations"
-prs: []
-issues: []
----
-
-JSON formats for store path info and derivations have been updated with new versions and structured fields.
-
-## Store Path Info JSON
-
-`nix path-info --json` now requires a `--json-format` flag to specify the output format version.
-Using `--json` without `--json-format` is deprecated and will become an error in a future release.
-For now, it defaults to version 1 with a warning, for a smoother migration.
-
-### Version 1 (`--json-format 1`)
-
-This is the legacy format, preserved for backwards compatibility:
-
-- String-based hash values (e.g., `"narHash": "sha256:FePFYIlM..."`)
-- String-based content addresses (e.g., `"ca": "fixed:r:sha256:1abc..."`)
-- Full store paths for map keys and references (e.g., `"/nix/store/abc...-foo"`)
-- Now includes `"storeDir"` field at the top level
-
-### Version 2 (`--json-format 2`)
-
-The new structured format follows the [JSON guidelines](@docroot@/development/json-guideline.md) with the following changes:
-
-- **Nested structure with top-level metadata**:
-
-  The output is now wrapped in an object with `version`, `storeDir`, and `info` fields:
-
-  ```json
-  {
-    "version": 2,
-    "storeDir": "/nix/store",
-    "info": { ... }
-  }
-  ```
-
-  The map from store bath base names to store object info is nested under the `info` field.
-
-- **Store path base names instead of full paths**:
-
-  Map keys and references use store path base names (e.g., `"abc...-foo"`) instead of full absolute store paths.
-  Combined with `storeDir`, the full path can be reconstructed.
-
-- **Structured `ca` field**:
-
-  Content address is now a structured JSON object instead of a string:
-
-  - Old: `"ca": "fixed:r:sha256:1abc..."`
-  - New: `"ca": {"method": "nar", "hash": "sha256-ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0="}`
-  - Still `null` values for input-addressed store objects
-
-  The `hash` field uses the [SRI](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity) format like other hashes.
-
-Nix currently only produces, and doesn't consume this format.
-
-Additionally the following field is added to both formats.
-(The `version` tracks breaking changes, and adding fields to outputted JSON is not a breaking change.)
-
-- **`version` field**:
-
-  All store path info JSON now includes `"version": <1|2>`.
-
-- **`storeDir` field**:
-
-  Top-level `"storeDir"` field contains the store directory path (e.g., `"/nix/store"`).
-
-## Derivation JSON (Version 4)
-
-The derivation JSON format has been updated from version 3 to version 4:
-
-- **Restructured inputs**:
-
-  Inputs are now nested under an `inputs` object:
-
-  - Old: `"inputSrcs": [...], "inputDrvs": {...}`
-  - New: `"inputs": {"srcs": [...], "drvs": {...}}`
-
-- **Consistent content addresses**:
-
-  Fixed content-addressed outputs now use structured JSON format.
-  This is the same format as `ca` in store path info (after the new version).
-
-Version 3 and earlier formats are *not* accepted when reading.
-
-**Affected command**: `nix derivation`, namely its `show` and `add` sub-commands.

-issues: [11728]
----
-
-The underlying issue that led to [#11728](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11728) has been resolved by utilizing
-[libcurl write pausing functionality](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_pause.html) to control backpressure when unpacking to slow destinations like the git-backed tarball cache. The default value of `download-buffer-size` is now 1 MiB and it's no longer recommended to increase it, since the root cause has been fixed.
-
-This is expected to improve download performance on fast connections, since previously a single slow download consumer would stall the thread and prevent any other transfers from progressing.
-
-Many thanks go out to the [Lix project](https://lix.systems/) for the [implementation](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/commit/4ae6fb5a8f0d456b8d2ba2aaca3712b4e49057fc) that served as inspiration for this change and for triaging libcurl [issues with pausing](https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/19334).

----
-
-S3 binary cache operations now happen via HTTP, leveraging `libcurl`'s native
-AWS SigV4 authentication instead of the AWS C++ SDK, providing significant
-improvements:
-
-- **Reduced memory usage**: Eliminates memory buffering issues that caused
-  segfaults with large files
-- **Fixed upload reliability**: Resolves AWS SDK chunking errors
-  (`InvalidChunkSizeError`)
-- **Lighter dependencies**: Uses lightweight `aws-crt-cpp` instead of full
-  `aws-cpp-sdk`, reducing build complexity
-
-The new implementation requires curl >= 7.75.0 and `aws-crt-cpp` for credential
-management.
-
-All existing S3 URL formats and parameters remain supported, however the store
-settings for configuring multipart uploads have changed:
-
-- **`multipart-upload`** (default: `false`): Enable multipart uploads for large
-  files. When enabled, files exceeding the multipart threshold will be uploaded
-  in multiple parts.
-
-- **`multipart-threshold`** (default: `100 MiB`): Minimum file size for using
-  multipart uploads. Files smaller than this will use regular PUT requests.
-  Only takes effect when `multipart-upload` is enabled.
-
-- **`multipart-chunk-size`** (default: `5 MiB`): Size of each part in multipart
-  uploads. Must be at least 5 MiB (AWS S3 requirement). Larger chunk sizes
-  reduce the number of requests but use more memory.
-
-- **`buffer-size`**: Has been replaced by `multipart-chunk-size` and is now an alias to it.
-
-Note that this change also means Nix now supports S3 binary cache stores even
-if built without `aws-crt-cpp`, but only for public buckets which do not
-require authentication.

----
-
-S3 binary cache stores now support configuring the storage class for uploaded objects via the `storage-class` parameter. This allows users to optimize costs by selecting appropriate storage tiers based on access patterns.
-
-Example usage:
-
-```bash
-# Use Glacier storage for long-term archival
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=GLACIER' /nix/store/...
-
-# Use Intelligent Tiering for automatic cost optimization
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=INTELLIGENT_TIERING' /nix/store/...
-```
-
-The storage class applies to both regular uploads and multipart uploads. When not specified, objects use the bucket's default storage class.
-
-See the [S3 storage classes documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/storage-class-intro.html) for available storage classes and their characteristics.

-# Running Benchmarks
-
-This guide explains how to build and run performance benchmarks in the Nix codebase.
-
-## Overview
-
-Nix uses the [Google Benchmark](https://github.com/google/benchmark) framework for performance testing. Benchmarks help measure and track the performance of critical operations like derivation parsing.
-
-## Building Benchmarks
-
-Benchmarks are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled during the build configuration. For accurate results, use a debug-optimized release build.
-
-### Development Environment Setup
-
-First, enter the development shell which includes the necessary dependencies:
-
-```bash
-nix develop .#native-ccacheStdenv
-```
-
-### Configure Build with Benchmarks
-
-From the project root, configure the build with benchmarks enabled and optimization:
-
-```bash
-cd build
-meson configure -Dbenchmarks=true -Dbuildtype=debugoptimized
-```
-
-The `debugoptimized` build type provides:
-- Compiler optimizations for realistic performance measurements
-- Debug symbols for profiling and analysis
-- Balance between performance and debuggability
-
-### Build the Benchmarks
-
-Build the project including benchmarks:
-
-```bash
-ninja
-```
-
-This will create benchmark executables in the build directory. Currently available:
-- `build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks` - Store-related performance benchmarks
-
-Additional benchmark executables will be created as more benchmarks are added to the codebase.
-
-## Running Benchmarks
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-Run benchmark executables directly. For example, to run store benchmarks:
-
-```bash
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-```
-
-As more benchmark executables are added, run them similarly from their respective build directories.
-
-### Filtering Benchmarks
-
-Run specific benchmarks using regex patterns:
-
-```bash
-# Run only derivation parser benchmarks
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_filter="derivation.*"
-
-# Run only benchmarks for hello.drv
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_filter=".*hello.*"
-```
-
-### Output Formats
-
-Generate benchmark results in different formats:
-
-```bash
-# JSON output
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=json > results.json
-
-# CSV output
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=csv > results.csv
-```
-
-### Advanced Options
-
-```bash
-# Run benchmarks multiple times for better statistics
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_repetitions=10
-
-# Set minimum benchmark time (useful for micro-benchmarks)
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_min_time=2
-
-# Compare against baseline
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_baseline=baseline.json
-
-# Display time in custom units
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_time_unit=ms
-```
-
-## Writing New Benchmarks
-
-To add new benchmarks:
-
-1. Create a new `.cc` file in the appropriate `*-tests` directory
-2. Include the benchmark header:
-   ```cpp
-   #include <benchmark/benchmark.h>
-   ```
-
-3. Write benchmark functions:
-   ```cpp
-   static void BM_YourBenchmark(benchmark::State & state)
-   {
-       // Setup code here
-
-       for (auto _ : state) {
-           // Code to benchmark
-       }
-   }
-   BENCHMARK(BM_YourBenchmark);
-   ```
-
-4. Add the file to the corresponding `meson.build`:
-   ```meson
-   benchmarks_sources = files(
-       'your-benchmark.cc',
-       # existing benchmarks...
-   )
-   ```
-
-## Profiling with Benchmarks
-
-For deeper performance analysis, combine benchmarks with profiling tools:
-
-```bash
-# Using Linux perf
-perf record ./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-perf report
-```
-
-### Using Valgrind Callgrind
-
-Valgrind's callgrind tool provides detailed profiling information that can be visualized with kcachegrind:
-
-```bash
-# Profile with callgrind
-valgrind --tool=callgrind ./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-
-# Visualize the results with kcachegrind
-kcachegrind callgrind.out.*
-```
-
-This provides:
-- Function call graphs
-- Instruction-level profiling
-- Source code annotation
-- Interactive visualization of performance bottlenecks
-
-## Continuous Performance Testing
-
-```bash
-# Save baseline results
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=json > baseline.json
-
-# Compare against baseline in CI
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_baseline=baseline.json
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Benchmarks not building
-
-Ensure benchmarks are enabled:
-```bash
-meson configure build | grep benchmarks
-# Should show: benchmarks true
-```
-
-### Inconsistent results
-
-- Ensure your system is not under heavy load
-- Disable CPU frequency scaling for consistent results
-- Run benchmarks multiple times with `--benchmark_repetitions`

 for example to ensure that better support for one platform doesn't break the build for another.
 Meson thankfully makes this very easy by confining all build products to the build directory --- one simple shares the source directory between multiple build directories, each of which contains the build for Nix to a different platform.
 
-Here's how to do that:
+Nixpkgs's `mesonConfigurePhase` always chooses `build` in the current directory as the name and location of the build.
+This makes having multiple build directories slightly more inconvenient.

-  There are multiple ways of obtaining store objects from store derivatons, collectively called [realisation][realise].
+  A description of a build task. The result of a derivation is a
