The `devcontainer.json` file contains any needed metadata and settings required to configurate a **development container** for a given well-defined tool and runtime stack.

It can be used by [tools and services that support the dev container spec](../../supporting) to create a **development environment** that contains one or more **development containers**.

Metadata properties marked with a 🏷️️ can be stored in the `devcontainer.metadata` **[container image label](/implementors/reference/#labels)** in addition to `devcontainer.json`. This label can contain an array of json snippets that will be automatically merged with `devcontainer.json` contents (if any) when a container is created.
