| Once an [[Labs/Weave/Developer/StorageFormat#Payload:_Encrypted_Data_Object|Encrypted Data Object]]'s payload is decrypted using [[Labs/Weave/Crypto|Weave Crypto]], the result is a cleartext JSON string. Each collection can have its own object structure to store data that it needs to reconstruct the item on the client.
| | {{Warning| This page is now located at http://docs.services.mozilla.com/sync/fxclient/storage.html}} |
| | |
| The object structure is versioned with the version metadata stored in the [[Labs/Weave/Developer/StorageFormat#Payload:_meta.2Fglobal|payload of meta/global]].
| |
| | |
| This document describes the format of the objects for each collection for each version. Typically, one record corresponds to one item, e.g., a bookmark, and the object formats have a fixed list of keys for simple key/value string pairs. | |
| | |
| The following sections, named by the corresponding collection name, describes the various object formats and how they're used. Note that object structures may change in the future and may not be backwards compatible.
| |
| | |
| In addition to these custom collection object structures, the [[Labs/Weave/Developer/StorageFormat#Payload:_Encrypted_Data_Object|Encrypted Data Object]] adds fields like <tt>id</tt> and <tt>deleted</tt>. Also, remember that there is data at the [[Labs/Weave/Developer/StorageFormat#Weave_Basic_Object|Weave Basic Object]] level as well such as <tt>id</tt>, <tt>modified</tt>, <tt>sortindex</tt> and <tt>payload</tt>.

| | |
| == bookmarks ==
| |
| | |
| One bookmark record exists for each "bookmark item," where an item may actually be a folder or a separator. Each item will have a <tt>type</tt> that determines what other fields are available in the object. The following sections describe the object format for a given <tt>type</tt>.
| |
| | |
| Each bookmark item has a parentid and predecessorid to form a structure like a tree of linked-lists to provide a hierarchical ordered list of bookmarks, folders, etc.
| |
| | |
| ==== bookmark ====

| | |
| This describes a regular bookmark that users can click to view a page.
