Examples of code.json

August 20, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

Below are examples of well-structured and comprehensive metadata in CMS code.json files. These examples demonstrate best practices for repository-level metadata documentation.

For additional reference, the tests directory contain unit tests of code.json files from various DSACMS repositories. These tests help ensure consistency and compliance as we make future updates to the schemas.

We encourage you to review these examples and tests when creating or updating your repository-level code.json file to maintain consistency with federal standards.
