Introduction

This document describes the schema for Common Package Specification files. A Common Package Specification file (hereafter "CPS") is a mechanism for describing how users may consume a package. "User" here refers to another package, not an end user. CPS deals with building software, not installing software.

CPS is based on JSON. A CPS file is a valid JSON object.

The official version of the specification is maintained at https://github.com/cps-org/cps.
