+This sub-item of `Config` defines extensions, i.e., additional checks
+that supplement those specified by the Data Package standard. It
+contains subitems that store additional checks, such as `RequiredCheck`
+and `CustomCheck`. This `Extensions` class might be expanded to include
+more types of extensions.

+## {{< var planned >}} Configuration file
+
+When we develop the CLI, we'll use a config file to store the settings
+contained within the `Config` class. This file will be named `.cdp.toml`
+and will be located in the same directory as the `datapackage.json`
+file. This is an example of what that file could look like:
+
+``` toml
+# The Data Package standard version to check against.
+version = "v2"
+
+# Whether to check properties that must *and should* be included.
+strict = true
+
+# Exclude all issues related to the "resources" property.
+[[exclusions]]
+jsonpath = "$.resources"
+
+# Exclude all issues related to the "format" type in the schema.
+[[exclusions]]
+type = "format"
+
+# Exclude issues that are both a "pattern" type and found in
+# the "path" property of the "contributors" field.
+[[exclusions]]
+jsonpath = "$.contributors[*].path"
+type = "pattern"
+
+# Require that the "description" property is included in the Data Package.
+[[extensions.required_checks]]
+jsonpath = "$.description"
