## Install

## API

### webExtensionsSchema([options])

- Arguments
- `{Object}` options
- `tag` Any tag, except `tip`, [from mozilla-unified](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified/tags) is valid. Default: Automatically fetches the latest stable release tag from `download.mozilla.org`.

Schema files for a tag that don't exist in the [`.schemas`
directory](https://github.com/stoically/webextensions-schema/tree/master/.schemas)
are downloaded once and saved there for future calls. Already ships with some
schema files (feel free to PR to add newer ones).

Returns a `Promise` resolving to the `schema` instance.

### schema.raw()

Returns an `Object` with schema filename as key and parsed JSON as value.

Sample:

```js
{
'tabs.json': [
{ namespace: 'manifest', types: [Array] },
{
namespace: 'tabs',
...
}
]
}
```

### schema.namespaces()

Returns an `Object` with namespace name as key and an `Array` of namespaces as value.

Sample:

```js
{
manifest: [
{ namespace: 'manifest', types: [Array] },
{ namespace: 'manifest', types: [Array] },
...
],
tabs: [
{
namespace: 'tabs',
functions: [
[Object], [Object], [Object],
...
]
}
]
}
```

### schema.tag()

Returns a `string` with tag name that was used for the `schema` instance.
