+### Sync jsonschema
+
+To sync jsonschema from Apache APISIX, `Lua` 5.1+ and `zip` need to be preinstalled, then execute this command: `api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh $version`.
+
+NOTE: `$version` should be `master` or Apache APISIX's version. 
+
+Example:
+
+```sh
+# Using "master"
+$ api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh master
+
+# Using Apache APISIX's version
+$ api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh 2.0

+### 同步 jsonschema
+
+从 Apache APISIX 同步 jsonschema ，需要预安装 `Lua` 5.1+ 和 `zip` ，并执行命令 `api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh $version`。
+
+注意：`$version` 为 `master` 或者 Apache APISIX 的版本号。 
+
+示例：
+
+```sh
+# 使用 "master"
+$ api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh master
+
+# 使用 Apache APISIX 的版本号
+$ api/build-tools/schema-sync.sh 2.0
+```
