# cypress.json file schema This [schema file](cypress.schema.json) provides definitions for [various Cypress configuration](https://on.cypress.io/configuration) properties inside `cypress.json` file. When editing `cypress.json` the schema file is used by [Schemastore](http://schemastore.org/json/) to provide IntelliSense and validation. Works in modern text editors like VSCode, WebStorm and Atom with help with the help of [autocomplete-json plugin](https://atom.io/packages/autocomplete-json).
