```yaml

  version: 1.0.0

paths:
  /users:
    get:
      summary: List users
      parameters:

          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/UserList'

components:
  schemas:
    User:
      type: object
      required: [id, name, email]
      properties:
        id:
          type: string
