# Caption

The component for adding caption text.

```
object Caption
```

## Discussion

Use a `Caption` component to include a description for media components like `photo`, `gallery`, `video`, `map`, and so on. Apple News displays captions under the media component, but you can also add them above.

> Note:
> This component creates caption text in the main article view. To add caption text in the full-screen view, use the `caption` property of the individual media component, such as ``doc://com.apple.applenews/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Photo``.

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "title",
      "text": "Apple News Format"
    },
    {
      "role": "body",
      "text": "Apple News Format allows publishers to craft beautiful editorial layouts. Galleries, audio, video, and fun interactions like animation make stories spring to life."
    },
    {
      "role": "photo",
      "URL": "bundle://image.jpg"
    },
    {
      "role": "caption",
      "text": "Failure is not an option"
    }
  ]
}
```
