# JSON Schema
In this tutorial, we will explore the JSON schema used by FancyDialogs to define dialogs.
This schema provides a structured way to create fancy dialogs.
## Example Dialog
The easiest way to create a new dialog is to copy an existing dialog and modify it to suit your needs.
You can find some example dialogs in the `plugins/FancyDialogs/data/dialogs` folder on your server.
Below is an example of a simple dialog defined using the FancyDialogs JSON schema:
```json
{
"id": "my_dialog",
"title": "My Fancy Dialog",
"canCloseWithEscape": true,
"body": [
{ "text": "This is my first dialog created with FancyDialogs!" }
],
"inputs": {
"textFields": [
{
"key": "fav_color",
"order": 1,
"label": "<color:#ff7300>What is your favorite color?</color>",
"placeholder": "gold",
"maxLength": 50,
"maxLines": 1
}
]
},
"buttons": [
{
"label": "Show favorite color",
"tooltip": "Click to show your favorite color",
"actions": [
{
"name": "message",
"data": "Your favorite color is: <color:{fav_color}>{fav_color}</color>"
}
]
}
]
}
```
