How to put a message in VS Code Problems window

I have a VS Code extension which enforces a json schema onto a json file. When there is an error, it posts a message into the Problems window which is great.

How can I write to this window, from my extension, to put my own messages in the Problems window?

I have searched the docs, and could only find showInformationMessage, showErrorMessage and showWarningMessage but none of these put the message anywhere visible that I can see.

Any hints to the correct method or a suitable doc page would be most helpful.

You can use diagnostics for this. The starting point for that API is createDiagnosticCollection() from the vscode.languages namespace. vscode-extension-samples has a simple example for this. The basic idea is that DiagnosticCollection acts as a map with URIs as keys and arrays of diagnostics as values.
