+Object Kind "codemodel"
+-----------------------
+
+The ``codemodel`` object kind describes the build system structure as
+modeled by CMake.
+
+There is only one ``codemodel`` object major version, version 2.
+Version 1 does not exist to avoid confusion with that from
+:manual:`cmake-server(7)` mode.
+
+"codemodel" version 2
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``codemodel`` object version 2 is a JSON object:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "kind": "codemodel",
+ "version": { "major": 2, "minor": 0 },
+ "paths": {
+ "source": "/path/to/top-level-source-dir",
