## Use it in a design

```yaml
nodes:
  - { id: "hyperledger-fabric", component: "hyperledger-fabric" }
```

## Source (`component` YAML, verbatim)

```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json
# Hyperledger Fabric: "an open source enterprise-grade permissioned distributed ledger technology
# (DLT) platform". Participants "are known to each other, rather than anonymous"; channels scope which
# members see which transactions; chaincode is written in Java, Go or Node.js; the ledger is "an
# immutable transaction ledger"; and the shipped ordering service is a crash-fault-tolerant Raft
# implementation ("Introduction"). It is not a double-entry accounting ledger.
