# SchemasThis section contains reference documentation for Authelia's schemas.

The following reference material documents some of the schemas we publish.

## JSON Schema

Authelia publishes several [JSON Schema] documents. These files are published in the following URL format (with the URL
also being the schema ID):

```
https://www.authelia.com/schemas/<version>/json-schema/<name>.json
```

These schemas can be added to the top of a YAML file using the following format:

```yaml {title="configuration.yml"}
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://www.authelia.com/schemas/<version>/json-schema/<name>.json

example: 'this is just an example'
```

Where:

1. The `<version>` placeholder is in the format `v<major>.<minor>` i.e. for version 4.38.1 the `<version>` is replaced
   by `v4.38`.
2. The `<name>` placeholder replaced by the name of the individual [JSON Schema] below.
3. The following special meta versions exist:
   1. The `latest` version refers to the latest released version of Authelia.
   2. The `next` version refers to the latest commit to the master branch.
