Create a JSON Schema to Validate "manifest.json"

[adamreisberg]

In addition to utilizing SAP Help portal for documentation of the manifest.json file used for deployments, create a publicly-accessible JSON Schema to reduce errors in the creation of builds for SAP Commerce.

What a manifest.json JSON Schema support in SAP Commerce/Cloud Portal Looks Like

1. Freely accessible
2. Abides by JSON Schema
3. Support in the manifest.json to reference the schema

   {
    "$schema": "http://example.com/sap-commerce-cloud-schema",
    "commerceSuiteVersion": "1905",
    "extensions": [
        "modeltacceleratorservices"
    ],

Why a JSON Schema for manifest.json?

1. Reduces build errors from incorrectly formatted manifest.json
2. Understand value "defaults"
3. Autocomplete/Correction available where JSON Schema is supported (VSCode)

Since I had similar issues, I've added manifest.json validation to my Commerce Gradle plugin (now part of the SAP open source offering)
