<h2 id="introduction"><span class="secno">1 </span>Introduction</h2>

<p>This section is non-normative.</p>

<p>
This specification introduces a unified interface to store and retrieve performance metric data.
This specification does not cover individual performance metric interfaces.
</p>

<h2 id="conformance-requirements"><span class="secno">2 </span>Conformance
requirements</h2>

<p>All diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative,
as are all sections explicitly marked non-normative. Everything else in this
specification is normative. </p>

<p>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
"RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in the normative parts of this document
are to be interpreted as described in <a href="#rfc2119">RFC 2119</a>.
For readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.</p>

<p>Requirements phrased in the imperative as part of algorithms (such as
"strip any leading space characters" or "return false and abort these steps")
are to be interpreted with the meaning of the key word ("must", "should",
"may", etc) used in introducing the algorithm. </p>

<p>Some conformance requirements are phrased as requirements on attributes,
methods or objects. Such requirements are to be interpreted as requirements
on user agents. </p>

<p>Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps may be
implemented in any manner, so long as the end result is equivalent. (In
particular, the algorithms defined in this specification are intended to be
easy to follow, and not intended to be performant.) </p>

    <p>The IDL fragments in this specification must be interpreted as
    required for conforming IDL fragments, as described in the Web IDL
    specification. <a href="#WebIDL">[Web IDL]</a></p>

<h2 id="terminology"><span class="secno">3 </span>Terminology</h2>

<p>The construction "a <code title="">Foo</code> object", where <code
title="">Foo</code> is actually an interface, is sometimes used instead of
the more accurate "an object implementing the interface <code
title="">Foo</code>". </p>

<p>The term DOM is used to refer to the API set made available to scripts in
Web applications, and does not necessarily imply the existence of an actual
<code>Document</code> object or of any other <code>Node</code> objects as
defined in the <a href="#DOM3Core">DOM Core specifications</a>.</p>

<p>A DOM attribute is said to be <em>getting</em> when its value is being
retrieved (such as by author script), and is said to be <em>setting</em> when
a new value is assigned to it. </p>

<p>The term "JavaScript" is used to refer to
<a href="#ECMA262">ECMA-262</a>,
rather than the official term ECMAScript, since the term JavaScript is more widely known.</p>

<p>Throughout this work, time is measured in milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970 (UTC).</p>

<h2 id="sec-navigation-timing"><span class="secno">4 </span>Performance Timeline</h2>

<h3 id="sec-performance-timeline"><span class="secno">4.1 </span> The Performance Timeline</h3>
<p>
	All interfaces that participate in the <a href="#sec-performance-timeline">Performance Timeline</a>, such as the 
	<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/ResourceTiming/Overview.html#performance-resource-timing">PerformanceResourceTiming</a>, 
	<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/UserTiming/Overview.html#the-performancemark-interface">PerformanceMark</a>, and
	<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/UserTiming/Overview.html#the-performancemeasure-interface">PerformanceMeasure</a> interfaces,
	must adhere to the following rules:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>Must extend the <a href="#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> interface</li>
	<li>Must support the 
		<a href="#getEntries-method"><code>getEntries</code></a>,
		<a href="#getEntriesByType-method"><code>getEntriesByType</code></a>, and
		<a href="#getEntriesByName-method"><code>getEntriesByName</code></a> methods
	</li>

	<li>
		Must expose a metric name on <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#nt-window-performance">window.performance</a> 
		like so: 
	
		<p><code>const unsigned short PERF_[METRIC] = [VALUE]</code>,</p>
		<p>where <code>[METRIC]</code> is the metric name and <code>[VALUE]</code>
		is a unique unsigned short that has not been already taken by another metric name.</p>
	</li>

</ul>	

<h3 id="sec-PerformanceEntry-interface"><span class="secno">4.2 </span> The <code><a href="#pt-performanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> </code> 
interface</h3>
<pre class="idl">interface <dfn id="pt-performanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</dfn> {
  readonly attribute DOMString name;
  readonly attribute unsigned long long startTime;
  readonly attribute unsigned short entryType;
  readonly attribute unsigned long long duration;
};
</pre>

<h4 id="performanceEntry-name"><code>name</code> attribute</h4>
<p>
	The <code>name</code> attribute must return the identifier for this <a href="#pt-performanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> object. This
	identifier does not have to be unique. 
</p>

<h4 id="performanceEntry-startTime"><code>startTime</code> attribute</h4>
<p>
	The <code>startTime</code> attribute must return the first recorded timestamp
	of this performance metric.
<p>

<h4 id="performanceEntry-entryType"><code>entryType</code> attribute</h4>
<p>
	The <code>entryType</code> attribute must return a const unsigned short exposed on <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#nt-window-performance">window.performance</a> 
    that defines the <i>type</i> of the interface represented by this <a href="#pt-performanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> object.
	
</p>

<h4 id="performanceEntry-duration"><code>duration</code> attribute</h4>
<p>
	The <code>duration</code> attribute must return the duration of the entire event being recorded by this <a href="#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a>. Typically, this would be the 
	time difference between the last recorded timestamp and the first recorded timestamp of this <a href="#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a>. A performance metric may choose
	to return a <code>duration</code> of 0, if the duration concept doesn't apply.
<p>

<h3 id="sec-PerformanceTiming"><span class="secno">4.4 </span> The <code>PerformanceTiming</code> 
interface</h3>

<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#sec-navigation-timing-interface">PerformanceTiming</a> interface does not extend 
the <a href="#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> interface. However, when the <a href="#getEntriesByType-method">getEntriesByType</a> and
<a href="#getEntriesByName-method">getEntriesByName</a> methods are called with the <code>entryType</code> argument of <code>PERF_NAVIGATION</code>,
a <a href="#pt-performanceEntryList-type">PerformanceEntryList</a> with a <a href="#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface">PerformanceEntry</a> object with the following values must be returned:
</p>

<div class="parameters">
    <p>The <code>name</code> attribute will return the "document" DOMString.</p>
    <p>The <code>entryType</code> attribute will return <code id="perf-navigation">PERF_NAVIGATION</code>.</p>
    <p>The <code id="timing-startTime">startTime</code> attribute will return a timestamp with the same value as <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#nt-navigation-start">navigationStart</a>.</p>
    <p>The <code>duration</code> attribute will return a timestamp equal to the difference between <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#nt-load-end">loadEventEnd</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#nt-navigation-start">navigationStart</a>, respectively.</p>
