# Open Cap Table Format (OCF)

## What is OCF?

OCF (or **O**pen **C**ap Table **F**ormat) is an open source data standard for company

capitalization data developed by the [Open Cap Table Coalition](https://opencaptablecoalition.com)

to enable the easy and accurate exchange and use of company capitalization information through a

standardized format.

OCF is a JSON-based format, wherein individual objects required to describe a company cap table are

stored in JSONs that match our OCF JSON Schemas. Our reference implementation suggests storing these

JSONs in a specific set of files in a zip archive, but OCF-compatible data could be provided via API

as well. Please see our documentation for more details on JSON Schema, OCF's schemas or how to use

them.

## Documentation

We have extensive, auto-generated documentation available on our

[documentation page](https://open-cap-table-coalition.github.io/Open-Cap-Format-OCF/). The documents

are automatically updated with every update to OCF.

You an find samples in our repo in the samples folder, or, check out our tutorials (again, through

the documentation) to see how to get started with OCF and download complete, sample OCF cap tables.

## OCF Schema

OCF's schema is defined in our JSON Schemas, which can be found in the /schema folder of our

repository. All of our documentation is automatically generated from these source files, so they

should remain in sync.
