# 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).
|

|
You can explore the JSON Schemas in different ways:
|
|
|
|
**1.** You can check all the definitions in [GitHub](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/tree/main/openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema).
|
|
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
|
|
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.
