- The vendor prefixes, unstable feature flags, and unstable endpoints
should be included in the MSC, though the MSC MUST be written in a
way that proposes new stable endpoints. Typically this is solved by
a small table at the bottom mapping the various values from stable
to unstable.
#### Unstable endpoints, features and vendor prefixes
Unstable endpoints MUST use `/unstable` as the endpoint version and a
vendor prefix in Java package naming format. For example:
`/_matrix/client/unstable/com.example.mscxxxx/login`.
{{% boxes/note %}}
Proposal authors operating with a Matrix.org Foundation mandate SHOULD use
a vendor prefix within the `org.matrix` namespace. This namespace is otherwise
restricted. Authors who don't own a domain MAY use the `io.github` namespace
instead.
{{% /boxes/note %}}
Note that unstable namespaces do not automatically inherit endpoints from
stable namespaces: for example, the fact that `/_matrix/client/v3/sync`
exists does not imply that `/_matrix/client/unstable/com.example.mscxxxx/sync`
exists.
Vendor prefixes MUST also be used for:
- New parameters on existing endpoints. For example:
`/_matrix/client/v3/publicRooms?com.example.mscxxxx.ordered_by=member_count`.
- New properties in existing JSON objects. For example:
```json
{
"avatar_url": "mxc://matrix.org/SDGdghriugerRg",
"displayname": "Alice Margatroid",
"com.example.mscxxxx.phone": [{
"type": "landline",
"number": "+1-206-555-7000"
}],
...
}
```
- New values for existing parameters or properties. For example:
```json
{
"errcode": "COM.EXAMPLE.MSCXXXX.M_INVALID_EMAIL",
"error": "The email address you provided is invalid."
}
```
If the client needs to be sure the server supports the feature, an
unstable feature flag that MUST also be vendor prefixed is to be used.
This flag shows up in the `unstable_features` section of
[`/_matrix/client/versions`](/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientversions)
