# Schema​Json​Format

**Deprecated:**

This check only exists in Theme Check `v1.X.X`. We consider this to be [the formatter](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/tools/liquid-prettier-plugin)'s job.

Identifies improperly formatted JSON in `{% schema %}` tags.

***

## Examples

The following examples contain code snippets that either fail or pass this check.

### ✗ Fail

```liquid
{% schema %}
{
  "locales": {
"en": {
  "title": "Welcome", "product": "Product"
},
          "fr": { "title": "Bienvenue", "product": "Produit" }
  }
}
{% endschema %}
```

### ✓ Pass

```liquid
{% schema %}
  {
    "locales": {
      "en": {
        "title": "Welcome",
        "product": "Product"
      },
      "fr": {
        "title": "Bienvenue",
        "product": "Produit"
      }
    }
  }
{% endschema %}
```

***

## Options

The following example contains the default configuration for this check:

```yaml
SchemaJsonFormat:
  enabled: true
  severity: style
```

| Parameter | Description |
| - | - |
| enabled | Whether the check is enabled. |
| severity | The [severity](https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/theme-check/configuration#check-severity) of the check. |

***

## Auto-correction

Theme Check can correct this error using the `--auto-correct` flag. When the flag is specified, Theme Check prettifies the JSON data inside of the `{% schema %}` tag.

***

## Disabling this check

This check is safe to [disable](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/tools/theme-check/configuration). You might want to disable this check if you don't care about the visual appearance of your schema tags.
