# OCI Image Manifest List Specification
The manifest list is a higher-level manifest which points to specific [image manifests](manifest.md) for one or more platforms.
While the use of a manifest list is OPTIONAL for image providers, image consumers SHOULD be prepared to process them.
This section defines the `application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.list.v1+json` [media type](media-types.md).
For the media type(s) that this document is compatible with, see the [matrix][matrix].
## *Manifest List* Property Descriptions
- **`schemaVersion`** *int*
This REQUIRED property specifies the image manifest schema version.
For this version of the specification, this MUST be `2` to ensure backward compatibility with older versions of Docker. The value of this field will not change. This field MAY be removed in a future version of the specification.
- **`mediaType`** *string*
This property is *reserved* for use, to [maintain compatibility][matrix].
When used, this field contains the media type of this document, which differs from the [descriptor](descriptor.md#properties) use of `mediaType`.
- **`manifests`** *array of objects*
This REQUIRED property contains a list of manifests for specific platforms.
While the property MUST be present, the size of the array MAY be zero.
Each object in `manifests` is a [descriptor](descriptor.md) with the following additional properties and restrictions:
- **`mediaType`** *string*
This [descriptor property](descriptor.md#properties) has additional restrictions for `manifests`.
Implementations MUST support at least the following media types:
- [`application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json`](manifest.md)
Manifest lists concerned with portability SHOULD use one of the above media types.
- **`platform`** *object*
This REQUIRED property describes the platform which the image in the manifest runs on.
- **`architecture`** *string*
This REQUIRED property specifies the CPU architecture.
Manifest lists SHOULD use, and implementations SHOULD understand, values [supported by runtime-spec's `platform.arch`][runtime-platform2].
- **`os`** *string*
This REQUIRED property specifies the operating system.
Manifest lists SHOULD use, and implementations SHOULD understand, values [supported by runtime-spec's `platform.os`][runtime-platform2].
- **`os.version`** *string*
This OPTIONAL property specifies the operating system version, for example `10.0.10586`.
- **`os.features`** *array of strings*
This OPTIONAL property specifies an array of strings, each specifying a mandatory OS feature (for example on Windows `win32k`).
- **`variant`** *string*
This OPTIONAL property specifies the variant of the CPU, for example `armv6l` to specify a particular CPU variant of the ARM CPU.
- **`features`** *array of strings*
This OPTIONAL property specifies an array of strings, each specifying a mandatory CPU feature (for example `sse4` or `aes`).
- **`annotations`** *string-string map*
This OPTIONAL property contains arbitrary metadata for the manifest list.
This OPTIONAL property MUST use the [annotation rules](annotations.md#rules).
See [Pre-Defined Annotation Keys](annotations.md#pre-defined-annotation-keys).
## Example Manifest List
