How extensions work

A ProfessionalIdentity may contain any number of versioned extensions. Unknown fields must be preserved during import and may be ignored for display, allowing the standard to evolve without breaking portability.

Extension in a ProfessionalIdentity document

{
  "extensions": [
    {
      "@type": "Extension",
      "extensionId": "https://openworkid.org/v1/extensions/software-engineer",
      "extensionVersion": "1.0.0",
      "fields": {
        "primaryLanguages": [
          "TypeScript",
          "Go"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Canonical machine-readable JSON is available at each extension URL. The complete generated collection is also shipped with the reference implementation.
