Component Descriptor Schema (Interactive)
The Component Descriptor is the central metadata document in the Open Component Model. It describes a component version with all its resources, sources, and references to other components.
Component Descriptor vs. Component Constructor
This schema is for Component Descriptors (the final output artifact for components stored in registries).
If you’re looking for the schema to validate Component Constructor files (component-constructor.yaml used as
input for ocm add componentversion), use the
Configuration Schema instead.
Schema Source
This schema is sourced from the Open Component Model specification.
