The use of oneOf or anyOf in arrays
Hi all, We have been discussing internally of how to use the oneOf and anyOf keywords in arrays. Suppose we have the following 2 items (Dog and Cat) Dog:
type: object
properties:
name:...

Hi chichepo
Thanks for your comments. Yes I am using 3.0.x
Can you please explain a little more what you mean by:
In conclusion, the difference in the way both items are validated.
I can see the example code generated by Swagger for both lists are the same? If the difference is in the validation - which of the two lists is correct? The one using oneOf or the one using anyOf?
Regarding your example above I assume you meant type: array and not type:string for "Animals" 😉
When I read the documentation for oneOf vs anyOf (you made a screenshot above) - then it makes me think that for arrays:
When anyOf is used in an array - then each item in the array can be:
- a Dog followed by a Cat
- a Cat followed by a Dob
- just a Dog
- just a Cat
When oneOf is used in an array - then each item in the list can be exactly a Dog or a Cat.
In my opinion oneOf is the correct use for the above example-lists...?
