The IPLD (InterPlanetary Linked Data) project repository hosting specifications, documentation, and the website at ipld.io. IPLD defines standards and formats for content-addressed, hash-linked data structures that enable interoperability across decentralized protocols like IPFS, Git, and blockchains.
Use cases
- learn how content-addressed data structures work
- read the IPLD data model and codec specifications
- build interoperable decentralized applications with hash-linked data
- traverse links across protocols like IPFS, Git, and Ethereum
- implement IPLD libraries in a new programming language
- understand how to reference IPFS content from smart contracts
When to choose
- you need authoritative specs for content-addressable data formats
- you're building decentralized apps that must interoperate across protocols
- you want to learn or contribute to the IPLD ecosystem
- you need canonical documentation for codecs, schemas, and the data model
When to avoid
- you need a runnable library rather than specs and docs (use language-specific IPLD libraries)
- your project has no need for content addressing or decentralized data structures
- you want a turnkey database or storage product
