Block Protocol is an open standard (with a TypeScript monorepo of libraries and tooling) defining how data-driven, interoperable frontend components called 'blocks' communicate with the applications that embed them. It includes a core specification, module specs, developer libraries, a CLI, and a public hub registry of blocks and services.
Use cases
- build interoperable embeddable ui blocks
- add a block plugin system to my web app
- publish reusable frontend components to a registry
- embed structured data blocks in wordpress gutenberg
- standardize communication between app and embedded components
- create a react block with typed entity data
When to choose
- you want blocks that work across multiple conforming applications without per-app integration
- you're building an app that should be infinitely extensible with third-party components
- you want typed, semantic data structures in editable content blocks
When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively developed standard - work on version 0.4 has been paused
- you only need blocks within a single app with no interoperability goals
- you need environments beyond WordPress/HASH, like Figma, which are not yet supported
