Microsoft Teams App Schema

This repository is where the JSON Schema for the Microsoft Teams application manifest resides. The first line in a Teams app manifest.json file is a reference to this file so that it can be validated, e.g.: "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.12/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json",.

If you are localizing your Microsoft Teams app, then you should also use the localization schema in your strings file to ensure a proper format, e.g.: "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.12/MicrosoftTeams.Localization.schema.json",.

Unless you are writing an app that reads/writes Microsoft Teams manifest.json files, you don't need to care about this.

Versioning

If you do want to link to MicrosoftTeams.schema.json within your source, here's where to find specific versions.
