What format are the rest-api-spec documents in?

[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/rest-api-spec/api/abort\_benchmark.json](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/rest-api-spec/api/abort_benchmark.json)

I thought it was json-schema.org but I don't see "methods" in the  
documentation. Could someone kindly let me know what format these are in?

Thanks!
