I recently added a library.json file to my library and created a release on GitHub, in it, there are more than one keywords but in the library manager, the keywords aren’t showing up.
LcdMenu by Forntoh Thomas · Libraries · PlatformIO
NB: The library was originally registered to Arduino Libraries, I guess PlatformIO just picked it up from there.
I would really love to see those tags appear in the library manager, it makes the library more accessible.
Hm, the only difference I can see between ArduinoJson and your library is that in the keywords it uses a single string
And that shows up as
whereas the library.json in the published version does
and shows up as
Maybe @ivankravets can help here on why that is – per docs it’s valid.
Yes, this is the answer to your question. A registry uses library.properties for metadata. We have just manually switched it to library.json. The metadata will be updated based on library.json on the new release. You can also personally manage releases using Redirecting... command.
Thanks, I will keep publishing it to the Arduino library repository because I want it to be available for users who don’t use PlatformIO, I’m glad that the next release will use the library.json file.
