#### Source
The name of the port.

When adding new ports be aware that the name may conflict with other projects that are not a part of vcpkg. To avoid conflicts verify the name on a service like [Repology][repology]. For example `json` conflicts with too many other projects so you should add a scope to the name such as `taocpp-json` to make it unique.

Verify there are no conflicts on a search engine as well as on other package collections.
