### Well-known URI
### Well-known URIs
Matrix facilitates automatic discovery for the Client-Server API base URL and more via the
[RFC 8615](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8615) "Well-Known URI" method.
This method uses JSON files at a predetermined location on the root path `/.well-known/` to
specify parameter values.
{{% boxes/note %}}
Diverging from the rest of the endpoints in the Client-Server spec, these files can not be provided
on the base URL that the Client-Server API is reachable on, as it is yet to be discovered.
Instead, they can be reached via HTTPS on the [server name](/appendices/#server-name)'s hostname as domain.
Servers hosting the `.well-known` JSON file SHOULD offer CORS headers,
as per the [CORS](#web-browser-clients) section in this specification.

### API Versions
Upon connecting, the Matrix client and server need to negotiate which version of the specification
they commonly support, as the API evolves over time. The server advertises its supported versions
and optionally unstable features to the client, which can then go on to make requests to the
endpoints it supports.
