Layout inside a data package is `main//.json`, and each file is wrapped `{"main":{"":{"identity":{…},"numbers":{…}}}}`. ## Version resolution (observed) - `data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/cldr-core` → `tags: {"latest":"48.2.0","beta":"49.0.0-BETA1","alpha":"49.0.0-ALPHA2"}`; same tags on `cldr-numbers-full`. An **unversioned** URL resolves to the `latest` tag: `cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cldr-core/package.json` → `version: 48.2.0`. `@latest` and `@beta` both 200. A major-only pin works: `cldr-numbers-full@45/main/en/numbers.json` → 200 and its bytes are the 45.0.0 file. - Unknown version → **404 `text/plain`**: `Couldn't find the requested release version 0.0.99.`; unknown locale → **404 `text/plain`**: `Couldn't find the requested file /main/zz-Nope/numbers.json in cldr-numbers-full.` (no JSON error envelope; do not `JSON.parse` a 404). - **Unversioned URLs are cached 7 days at the edge**: `cldr-core/package.json` (no version) came back `cache-control: public, max-age=604800, s-maxage=43200`, identical to the pinned URL. An unversioned fetch can therefore lag a new `latest` by up to a week. - A trailing-slash path (`…@45/main/en/`) → 200 **`text/html`** directory listing, 23 603 B. - unpkg behaves differently for the same package: `unpkg.com/cldr-numbers-full/main/en/numbers.json` → **302** to `…@48.2.0/…` (the resolved version is visible in `Location`); jsDelivr gives no such hint. ## The `-modern` packages are frozen `cldr-numbers-modern` tags: `latest: 45.0.0` (versions list stops at 45.0.0) while `cldr-numbers-full` latest is 48.2.0. `cldr-core@48/availableLocales.json` → `{"availableLocales":{"modern":[],"full":[766 locales]}}` (at `@45`: modern 392, full 710). Anything depending on `cldr-*-modern` is silently three major CLDR releases behind. ## Where the CLDR version is — and where it no longer is - `cldr-numbers-full@45/main/en/numbers.json` → `"identity":{"version":{"_cldrVersion":"45"},"language":"en"}`. - `@46`, `@47`, `@48` → `"identity":{"language":"en"}` — **the `version` block is gone.** Code that reads `identity.version._cldrVersion` now gets `undefined` on every current release. - The version lives in the package manifest: `cldr-numbers-full@48.2.0/package.json` → `"version":"48.2.0","cldrVersion":"48"` (and `cldrVersion: "45"` on 45.0.0). Pin the URL by version and read `cldrVersion` from `package.json`. ETags are weak (`W/"1f99-…"`), `content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8`, `vary: Accept-Encoding`, `x-cache: HIT, MISS` style edge headers. ## Probe ``` curl -sS https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/cldr-numbers-modern | python3 -c "import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['tags'])" # latest 45.0.0 for v in 45 46 48; do curl -sS https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cldr-numbers-full@$v/main/en/numbers.json | python3 -c "import json,sys;print('$v',json.load(sys.stdin)['main']['en']['identity'])"; done curl -sS https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cldr-numbers-full@48/package.json | python3 -c "import json,sys;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(d['version'],d['cldrVersion'])" curl -sS https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cldr-core@48/availableLocales.json | python3 -c "import json,sys;a=json.load(sys.stdin)['availableLocales'];print(len(a['modern']),len(a['full']))" # 0 766 curl -sSI https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/cldr-core/package.json | grep -i cache-control # max-age=604800 on the UNVERSIONED url ``` How observed: 2026-09-30, direct anonymous HTTPS (curl + Python `json`) against `cdn.jsdelivr.net`, `data.jsdelivr.com` and one comparison request to `unpkg.com`.
