Layout of State Variables in Storage
************************************
.. _storage-inplace-encoding:
Statically-sized variables (everything except mapping and dynamically-sized array types) are laid out contiguously in storage starting from position ``0``. Multiple, contiguous items that need less than 32 bytes are packed into a single storage slot if possible, according to the following rules:
- The first item in a storage slot is stored lower-order aligned.

Due to their unpredictable size, mapping and dynamically-sized array types use a Keccak-256 hash

JSON Output
===========
.. _storage-layout-top-level:
The storage layout of a contract can be requested via the :ref:`standard JSON interface <compiler-api>`. The output is a JSON object containing two keys,
``storage`` and ``types``. The ``storage`` object is an array where each
element has the following form:
.. code::
{
"astId": 2,
"contract": "fileA:A",
"label": "x",
"offset": 0,
"slot": "0",
"type": "t_uint256"
}
where the example above is the storage layout of ``contract A { uint x; }`` from source unit ``fileA``
and
- ``astId`` is the id of the AST node of the state variable's declaration
- ``contract`` is the name of the contract including its path as prefix
- ``label`` is the name of the state variable
- ``offset`` is the offset in bytes within the storage slot according to the encoding
- ``slot`` is the storage slot where the state variable resides or starts. This
number may be very large and therefore its JSON value is represented as a
string.
- ``type`` is an identifier used as key to the variable's type information (described in the following)
The given ``type``, in this case ``t_uint256`` represents an element in
``types``, which has the form:
.. code::
{
"encoding": "inplace",
"label": "uint256",
"numberOfBytes": "32",
}
where
- ``encoding`` how the data is encoded in storage, where the possible values are:
- ``inplace``: data is laid out contiguously in storage (see :ref:`above <storage-inplace-encoding>`).
- ``mapping``: Keccak-256 hash-based method (see :ref:`above <storage-hashed-encoding>`).
- ``dynamic_array``: Keccak-256 hash-based method (see :ref:`above <storage-hashed-encoding>`).
- ``bytes``: single slot or Keccak-256 hash-based depending on the data size (see :ref:`above <bytes-and-string>`).
- ``label`` is the canonical type name.
- ``numberOfBytes`` is the number of used bytes (as a decimal string). Note that if ``numberOfBytes > 32`` this means that more than one slot is used.
Some types have extra information besides the four above. Mappings contain
its ``key`` and ``value`` types (again referencing an entry in this mapping
of types), arrays have its ``base`` type, and structs list their ``members`` in
the same format as the top-level ``storage`` (see :ref:`above
<storage-layout-top-level>`).
.. note ::
The JSON output format of a contract's storage layout is still considered experimental
and is subject to change in non-breaking releases of Solidity.
The following example shows a contract and its storage layout, containing
value and reference types, types that are encoded packed, and nested types.
.. code::
pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.7.0;
contract A {
struct S {
uint128 a;
uint128 b;
uint[2] staticArray;
uint[] dynArray;
}
uint x;
uint y;
S s;
address addr;
mapping (uint => mapping (address => bool)) map;
uint[] array;
string s1;
bytes b1;
}
