+## Differentiating between `imports` or `importMap` in `deno.json` and `--import-map` option
+
+The [Import Maps Standard] requires two entries for each module: one for the
+module specifier and another for the specifier with a trailing `/`. This is
+because the standard allows only one entry per module specifier, and the
+trailing `/` indicates that the specifier refers to a directory. For example,
+when using the `--import-map import_map.json` option, the `import_map.json` file
+must include both entries for each module (note the use of `jsr:/@std/async`
+instead of `jsr:@std/async`):
+
+```json title="import_map.json"
+{
+  "imports": {
+    "@std/async": "jsr:@std/async@^1.0.0",
+    "@std/async/": "jsr:/@std/async@^1.0.0/"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In contrast, `deno.json` extends the import maps standard. When you use the
+imports field in `deno.json` or reference an `import_map.json` file via the
+`importMap` field, you only need to specify the module specifier without the
+trailing `/`:
+
+```json title="deno.json"
+{
+  "imports": {
+    "@std/async": "jsr:@std/async@^1.0.0"
+  }
+}
+```
