# Yarn Protocols

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/yarn-pkg/yarn-protocols/  
**Provider:** Yarn — https://apis.io/providers/yarn-pkg/  
**Documentation:** https://yarnpkg.com/protocol/npm

Yarn Protocols is one of 10 APIs that [Yarn](https://apis.io/providers/yarn-pkg/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Protocols, Dependency Resolution, and JavaScript. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Yarn supports a rich set of dependency protocols beyond `npm:` semver — `git:`, `github:`, `file:`, `link:`, `portal:`, `patch:`, `exec:`, `workspace:`, and `http(s):`. Protocols are pluggable so custom resolvers can be added via plugins.
