## Notable Features :id=notable-features

### Introduction of `keyboard.json` ([22891](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/22891)) :id=keyboard-json
One longer term goal of QMK is increased maintainability.
As part of the continued push towards [Data Driven Configuration](data_driven_config.md), the build system has been updated to simplify the existing codebase, and power future workflows.
The `keyboard.json` configuration file allows the support of a single data file for keyboard level config.
Additionally,
* `info.json` now represents potential fragments of config that can be shared across keyboard revisions.
* `rules.mk` is now optional - Completely blank files are no longer required.
* Currently supported keyboards have been migrated to reflect this change.
Backwards compatibility of the old system has been maintained, but will be removed in a future breaking changes cycle.
