library.json is a library manifest file which can be used with different tools/managers to organise embedded libraries. Currently, only PlatformIO uses it. How does this look from CLI:

$ platformio lib search --framework="energia" sd
# Found 1 libraries:

# [ ID  ] Name             Compatibility         "Authors": Description
