JSON field reference

Execution and content

format and containerVersion identify the container. execution contains entries and nodes; content contains texts, translations and catalogs. UUIDs connect tables. Do not resolve by display names. JSON does not allow comments: explanations are separate so the sample remains valid JSON.

// Explanation only — not a JSON file
// execution.entries[entryId].nodeRef -> execution.nodes[nodeId]
// node.text.textRef -> content.texts[textId].sourceMessage
// content.translations[locale][textId].message -> translated segments
// dialogue.continuation.nodeRef -> next node
// end -> stop; never keep advancing

story.json

Language switching and missing translations

Store language separately from the current node. On switching, resolve the same textRef again: use the translation for locale if present, otherwise sourceMessage. An absent language table means missing translations. allowEmpty supports intentionally blank text. Evaluate placeholder segments with typed formatting; do not stringify the JSON. Source fingerprints identify stale translations; workflowStatus alone does not establish freshness.

Every definition reachable from the current story export schema. All properties, variants and constraints are included below; “Schema” exposes nested rules too. Extra fields are rejected where additionalProperties is false.
