- **`artifactType`** *string*

This OPTIONAL property contains the type of an artifact when the descriptor points to an artifact.
This is the value of the config descriptor `mediaType` when the descriptor references an [image manifest](manifest.md).
This OPTIONAL property contains the type of an artifact when the descriptor points to an [artifact](artifacts-guidance.md).
This property MUST be the same as the `artifactType` of the referenced [manifest](manifest.md), or the `mediaType` of the `config` descriptor if an `artifactType` is not set.
If defined, the value MUST comply with [RFC 6838][rfc6838], including the [naming requirements in its section 4.2][rfc6838-s4.2], and MAY be registered with [IANA][iana].

Descriptors pointing to [`application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json`](manifest.md) SHOULD include the extended field `platform`, see [Image Index Property Descriptions](image-index.md#image-index-property-descriptions) for details.
