Slipcase: metadata that travels with the file

slipcaseformat.com Observed source
Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Slipcase defines the .slpc format, a ZIP-based container that keeps one payload file and its TOML metadata together.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

Slipcase packages a payload and its description in a ZIP archive rather than embedding metadata into the payload or relying on a sidecar file. The required metadata uses UTF-8 TOML 1.1.0, with slipcase_version and payload.file as mandatory keys; the payload name is restricted to a plain filename. The project also publishes 87 declared test containers and describes desktop, command-line, and double-click workflows for handling the format.
