Code completion in VS Code picks up a schema for any JSON file if the schema is specified as `"$schema": "<URL to schema>"`. It automatically picks up [certain JSON Schemas](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json#_json-schemas-and-settings) by file name (ie: `package.json`) and you can configure your own associations via (workspace) `settings.json` like this: ```json "json.schemas": [ { "fileMatch": [ "resume.json" ], "url": "http://json.schemastore.org/resume" } ] ``` Alternatively VS Code supports the `$schema` key in JSON files itself. So in a `resume.json` we could add the [JSON Resume schema](http://json.schemastore.org/resume) to get code completion without touching the VS Code settings: ```json { "$schema": "http://json.schemastore.org/resume", } ``` So please JSON Schema authors allow the specification of the schema in your JSON Schema like this: ```json { "properties": { "$schema": { "title": "JSON Schema to use", "description": "Can be a local schema or a remote one (ie from http://schemastore.org)", "oneOf": [ { "type": "string", "format": "uri" }, { "type": "string" } ] }, } } ``` [XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/) had a similar feature where you could specify an [XSD](https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/) in the XML pre-processing tags to validate the syntax and data (to some extent) of the XML.
