# JSON Schema The `metadata.json` file is a JSON schema for the step metadata located in [resource/metadata](../metadata). ## Usage The file can be used with any YAML schema validator. ### VSCode To use the schema in VSCode, install the [vscode-yaml](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml) extension to gain schema support for your `yaml` files. Add the following code to your `.vscode/settings.json` file in the jenkins-library project: ```json { "yaml.schemas": { "./resources/schemas/metadata.json": "resources/metadata/*.yaml" } } ```
