# Schemas
The OpenMetadata standard is powered by [JSON Schemas ](https://json-schema.org/ ), as a readable and language-agnostic
solution that allows us to automatically generate code for the different pieces of the project.
{% note %}
Curious about how OpenMetadata is built? You can take a look at the [High Level Design ](/main-concepts/high-level-design ).
{% /note %}
You can explore the JSON Schemas in different ways:
2023-07-14 14:12:27 +02:00
**1.** You can check all the definitions in [GitHub ](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/tree/main/openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema ).
2023-04-25 16:58:47 +02:00
Navigating through the directories you can find, for example, the definition of a [Table ](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/blob/main/openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema/entity/data/table.json ).

**2.** If you prefer to stay in the docs, we also have you covered. We have converted the JSON Schemas to markdown files
2023-04-25 16:58:47 +02:00
that you can explore following the left menu titles, or navigating the structure by clicking on `Next` at the
end of each page. Again, this would be the structure of a [Table ](/main-concepts/metadata-standard/schemas/entity/data/table ).
In this generation we wanted to maintain the same structure as the GitHub repository. Any empty file means that you reached
a directory, but you can keep exploring until finding the right Entity, or you can also look for it using the Search Bar.
