 # JMESPath Specification
 
-Any changes to the [JMESPath specification](https://jmespath.site/main/#specification) must have a JEP (JMESPath Enhancement Proposal) which is tracked in this repo. While there are implementations of JMESPath in over 9 different languages, we currently track implementations of 4 implementations of the JMESPath Community specification. We want to make sure that any modifications to the spec make sense for all JMESPath and JMESPath Community libraries.

 A JEP helps to work through the design process for new additions and ensures that the JMESPath community has a chance to give feedback before it's officially part of the specification.

 Then open a [discussion](https://github.com/jmespath-community/jmespath.spec/discussions) to discuss the feature, its merit, and any possible alternatives.
 Once the discussion has reached a mature level of feedback, it will be assigned a JEP number _N_.
 At that point it is safe to begin composing JEP-_N_ along with all the required changes and documentation.

 updated JEPs will have an amended letter sequence added as a suffix to the original JEP#.
 The sequence follows the 26 US-ASCII alphabetical order 'a', 'b', to 'z'. It then follows with
 'aa', 'ab', to 'az' and so on.
