| Attribute | Comment |
|---|---|
| `id` | Mandatory |
| `type` | With value `component`; mandatory |
| `i18n` | Optional attribute: A URL string to the properties file that contains the text symbols for the manifest; the URL is interpreted relative to the `manifest`. Alternatively, an object defined as described in [Terminologies](/docs/04_Essentials/terminologies-eba8d25.html).

SAPUI5 determines the library name by analyzing the component namespace (package) up to the part where the segment starts with a capitalized letter. If the library name that has been determined, does not fit your component, an additional library attribute needs to be filled in the component metadata in Component.js to specify the library your component belongs to.
Example:
sap.ui.core.UIComponent.extend("com.sap.fancylibrary.sub.CompLib.Component", {
metadata : {
"manifest" : "json",
"library" : "com.sap.fancylibrary",
...
}
