Optional
$anchor?: stringUsing JSON Pointer fragments requires knowledge of the structure of the schema. When writing schema documents with the intention to provide re-usable schemas, it may be preferable to use a plain name fragment that is not tied to any particular structural location. This allows a subschema to be relocated without requiring JSON Pointer references to be updated.
The $anchor
keyword is used to specify such a fragment. It is an
identifier keyword that can only be used to create plain name fragments.
If present, the value of this keyword MUST be a string, which MUST start
with a letter [A-Za-z]
, followed by any number of letters, digits
[0-9]
, hyphens -
, underscores _
, colons :
,
or periods .
.
Note that the anchor string does not include the #
character,
as it is not a URI-reference. An {"$anchor": "foo"}
becomes the
fragment #foo
when used in a URI.
The base URI to which the resulting fragment is appended is determined
by the $id
keyword as explained in the previous section.
Two $anchor
keywords in the same schema document MAY have the same
value if they apply to different base URIs, as the resulting full URIs
will be distinct. However, the effect of two $anchor
keywords
with the same value and the same base URI is undefined. Implementations
MAY raise an error if such usage is detected.
Optional
$comment?: stringThis keyword reserves a location for comments from schema authors to readers or maintainers of the schema.
The value of this keyword MUST be a string. Implementations MUST NOT present this string to end users. Tools for editing schemas SHOULD support displaying and editing this keyword. The value of this keyword MAY be used in debug or error output which is intended for developers making use of schemas.
Schema vocabularies SHOULD allow $comment
within any object
containing vocabulary keywords. Implementations MAY assume $comment
is allowed unless the vocabulary specifically forbids it. Vocabularies
MUST NOT specify any effect of $comment
beyond what is described in
this specification.
Tools that translate other media types or programming languages
to and from application/schema+json
MAY choose to convert that media
type or programming language's native comments to or from $comment
values. The behavior of such translation when both native comments and
$comment
properties are present is implementation-dependent.
Implementations MAY strip $comment
values at any point during
processing. In particular, this allows for shortening schemas when the
size of deployed schemas is a concern.
Implementations MUST NOT take any other action based on the presence,
absence, or contents of $comment
properties. In particular, the
value of $comment
MUST NOT be collected as an annotation result.
Optional
$defs?: Record<string, JSONSchema>The $defs
keyword reserves a location for schema authors to inline
re-usable JSON Schemas into a more general schema. The keyword does not
directly affect the validation result.
This keyword's value MUST be an object. Each member value of this object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
Optional
$dynamic"The $dynamicAnchor
indicates that the fragment is an extension
point when used with the $dynamicRef
keyword. This low-level,
advanced feature makes it easier to extend recursive schemas such as the
meta-schemas, without imposing any particular semantics on that
extension. See $dynamicRef
for more details.
Optional
$dynamicThe $dynamicRef
keyword is an applicator that allows for deferring
the full resolution until runtime, at which point it is resolved each
time it is encountered while evaluating an instance.
Together with $dynamicAnchor
, $dynamicRef
implements a
cooperative extension mechanism that is primarily useful with recursive
schemas (schemas that reference themselves). Both the extension point
and the runtime-determined extension target are defined with
$dynamicAnchor
, and only exhibit runtime dynamic behavior when
referenced with $dynamicRef
.
The value of the $dynamicRef
property MUST be a string which is
a URI-Reference. Resolved against the current URI base, it produces
the URI used as the starting point for runtime resolution. This initial
resolution is safe to perform on schema load.
If the initially resolved starting point URI includes a fragment that
was created by the $dynamicAnchor
keyword, the initial URI MUST be
replaced by the URI (including the fragment) for the outermost schema
resource in the dynamic scope that defines
an identically named fragment with $dynamicAnchor
.
Otherwise, its behavior is identical to $ref
, and no runtime
resolution is needed.
"uri-reference"
Optional
$id?: stringThe $id
keyword identifies a schema resource with its
[canonical][RFC6596] URI.
Note that this URI is an identifier and not necessarily a network locator. In the case of a network-addressable URL, a schema need not be downloadable from its canonical URI.
If present, the value for this keyword MUST be a string, and MUST
represent a valid URI-reference. This URI-reference SHOULD
be normalized, and MUST resolve to an absolute-URI (without a
fragment). Therefore, $id
MUST NOT contain a non-empty fragment,
and SHOULD NOT contain an empty fragment.
Since an empty fragment in the context of the
application/schema+json
media type refers to the same resource as
the base URI without a fragment, an implementation MAY normalize a URI
ending with an empty fragment by removing the fragment. However, schema
authors SHOULD NOT rely on this behavior across implementations.
This URI also serves as the base URI for relative URI-references in keywords within the schema resource, in accordance with RFC 3986 section 5.1.1 regarding base URIs embedded in content.
The presence of $id
in a subschema indicates that the subschema
constitutes a distinct schema resource within a single schema document.
Furthermore, in accordance with RFC 3986 section 5.1.2
regarding encapsulating entities, if an $id
in a subschema is a
relative URI-reference, the base URI for resolving that reference is the
URI of the parent schema resource.
If no parent schema object explicitly identifies itself as a resource
with $id
, the base URI is that of the entire document.
The root schema of a JSON Schema document SHOULD contain an $id
keyword with an absolute-URI (containing a scheme, but no
fragment).
"uri-reference"
Optional
$ref?: stringThe $ref
keyword is an applicator that is used to reference a
statically identified schema. Its results are the results of the
referenced schema. Other keywords can appear alongside of $ref
in
the same schema object.
The value of the $ref
property MUST be a string which is a
URI-Reference. Resolved against the current URI base, it produces the
URI of the schema to apply.
"uri-reference"
Optional
$schema?: stringThe $schema
keyword is both used as a JSON Schema dialect identifier
and as the identifier of a resource which is itself a JSON Schema, which
describes the set of valid schemas written for this particular dialect.
The value of this keyword MUST be a URI (containing a scheme) and this URI MUST be normalized. The current schema MUST be valid against the meta-schema identified by this URI.
If this URI identifies a retrievable resource, that resource SHOULD be
of media type application/schema+json
.
The $schema
keyword SHOULD be used in the document root schema
object, and MAY be used in the root schema objects of embedded schema
resources. It MUST NOT appear in non-resource root schema objects. If
absent from the document root schema, the resulting behavior is
implementation-defined.
Values for this property are defined elsewhere in this and other documents, and by other parties.
"uri"
Optional
$vocabulary?: Record<string, string>The $vocabulary
keyword is used in meta-schemas to identify the
vocabularies available for use in schemas described by that meta-schema.
It is also used to indicate whether each vocabulary is required or
optional, in the sense that an implementation MUST understand the
required vocabularies in order to successfully process the schema.
Together, this information forms a dialect. Any vocabulary that is
understood by the implementation MUST be processed in a manner
consistent with the semantic definitions contained within the
vocabulary.
The value of this keyword MUST be an object. The property names in the object MUST be URIs (containing a scheme) and this URI MUST be normalized. Each URI that appears as a property name identifies a specific set of keywords and their semantics.
The URI MAY be a URL, but the nature of the retrievable resource is
currently undefined, and reserved for future use. Vocabulary authors
MAY use the URL of the vocabulary specification, in a human-readable
media type such as text/html
or text/plain
, as the vocabulary
URI.
The values of the object properties MUST be booleans. If the value is
true
, then implementations that do not recognize the vocabulary MUST
refuse to process any schemas that declare this meta-schema with
$schema
. If the value is false
, implementations that do not
recognize the vocabulary SHOULD proceed with processing such schemas.
The value has no impact if the implementation understands the
vocabulary.
Unrecognized keywords SHOULD be ignored. This remains the case for keywords defined by unrecognized vocabularies. It is not currently possible to distinguish between unrecognized keywords that are defined in vocabularies from those that are not part of any vocabulary.
The $vocabulary
keyword SHOULD be used in the root schema of any
schema document intended for use as a meta-schema. It MUST NOT appear
in subschemas.
The $vocabulary
keyword MUST be ignored in schema documents that are
not being processed as a meta-schema.
Optional
additionaladditionalItems
has been deprecated in favor of prefixItems
paired with items
.
Optional
additionalThe value of additionalProperties
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
The behavior of this keyword depends on the presence and annotation
results of properties
and patternProperties
within the same
schema object. Validation with additionalProperties
applies only to
the child values of instance names that do not appear in the annotation
results of either properties
or patternProperties
.
For all such properties, validation succeeds if the child instance
validates against the additionalProperties
schema.
The annotation result of this keyword is the set of instance property
names validated by this keyword's subschema. Annotation results for
additionalProperties
keywords from multiple schemas applied to the
same instance location are combined by taking the union of the sets.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty schema.
Implementations MAY choose to implement or optimize this keyword in
another way that produces the same effect, such as by directly checking
the names in properties
and the patterns in patternProperties
against the instance property set.
Optional
allThis keyword's value MUST be a non-empty array. Each item of the array MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against all schemas defined by this keyword's value.
Optional
anyThis keyword's value MUST be a non-empty array. Each item of the array MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against at least one schema defined by this keyword's value.
Optional
const?: ValueAn instance validates successfully against this keyword if its value is equal to the value of the keyword.
Use of this keyword is functionally equivalent to the enum
keyword
with a single value.
Optional
contains?: JSONSchema<Value, SchemaType>The value of this keyword MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An array instance is valid against contains
if at least one of its
elements is valid against the given schema. The subschema MUST be
applied to every array element even after the first match has been
found, in order to collect annotations for use by other keywords.
This is to ensure that all possible annotations are collected.
Logically, the validation result of applying the value subschema to each
item in the array MUST be OR'ed with false
, resulting in an overall
validation result.
This keyword produces an annotation value which is an array of the
indexes to which this keyword validates successfully when applying its
subschema, in ascending order. The value MAY be a boolean true
if
the subschema validates successfully when applied to every index of the
instance. The annotation MUST be present if the instance array to which
this keyword's schema applies is empty.
Optional
contentIf the instance value is a string, this property defines that the string SHOULD be interpreted as binary data and decoded using the encoding named by this property. RFC 2045, Sec 6.1 lists the possible values for this property.
The value of this property SHOULD be ignored if the instance described is not a string.
If this keyword is absent, but contentMediaType
is present, this
indicates that the media type could be encoded into UTF-8
like any
other JSON string value, and does not require additional decoding.
The value of this property MUST be a string.
Optional
contentIf the instance is a string, this property indicates the media type
of the contents of the string. If contentEncoding
is present,
this property describes the decoded string.
The value of this property must be a media type, as defined by RFC 2046. This property defines the media type of instances which this schema defines.
The value of this property SHOULD be ignored if the instance described is not a string.
If the contentEncoding
property is not present, but the instance
value is a string, then the value of this property SHOULD specify a text
document type, and the character set SHOULD be the character set into
which the JSON string value was decoded (for which the default is
Unicode).
Optional
contentIf the instance is a string, and if contentMediaType
is present,
this property contains a schema which describes the structure of the
string.
This keyword MAY be used with any media type that can be mapped into JSON Schema's data model.
The value of this property MUST be a valid JSON schema. It SHOULD be
ignored if contentMediaType
is not present.
Optional
default?: ValueThis keyword can be used to supply a default JSON value associated with
a particular schema. It is RECOMMENDED that a default
value be valid
against the associated schema.
Optional
definitions?: Record<string, JSONSchema>definitions
has been renamed to $defs
.
Optional
dependencies?: Record<string, MaybeReadonlyArray<string> | JSONSchema>dependencies
has been split into two keywords:
dependentSchemas
and dependentRequired
.
Optional
dependentThe value of this keyword MUST be an object. Properties in this object, if any, MUST be arrays. Elements in each array, if any, MUST be strings, and MUST be unique.
This keyword specifies properties that are required if a specific other property is present. Their requirement is dependent on the presence of the other property.
Validation succeeds if, for each name that appears in both the instance and as a name within this keyword's value, every item in the corresponding array is also the name of a property in the instance.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as an empty object.
Optional
dependentThis keyword specifies subschemas that are evaluated if the instance is an object and contains a certain property.
This keyword's value MUST be an object. Each value in the object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
If the object key is a property in the instance, the entire instance must validate against the subschema. Its use is dependent on the presence of the property.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as an empty object.
Optional
deprecated?: booleanThe value of this keyword MUST be a boolean. When multiple occurrences
of this keyword are applicable to a single sub-instance, applications
SHOULD consider the instance location to be deprecated if any occurrence
specifies a true
value.
If deprecated
has a value of boolean true
, it indicates that
applications SHOULD refrain from usage of the declared property. It MAY
mean the property is going to be removed in the future.
A root schema containing deprecated
with a value of true
indicates that the entire resource being described MAY be removed in the
future.
The deprecated
keyword applies to each instance location to which
the schema object containing the keyword successfully applies. This can
result in scenarios where every array item or object property is
deprecated even though the containing array or object is not.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of false
.
Optional
description?: stringCan be used to decorate a user interface with explanation or information about the data produced.
Optional
else?: JSONSchema<Value, SchemaType>This keyword's value MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
When if
is present, and the instance fails to validate against its
subschema, then validation succeeds against this keyword if the instance
successfully validates against this keyword's subschema.
This keyword has no effect when if
is absent, or when the instance
successfully validates against its subschema. Implementations MUST NOT
evaluate the instance against this keyword, for either validation or
annotation collection purposes, in such cases.
Optional
enum?: MaybeReadonlyArray<Value>The value of this keyword MUST be an array. This array SHOULD have at least one element. Elements in the array SHOULD be unique.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if its value is equal to one of the elements in this keyword's array value.
Elements in the array might be of any type, including null
.
Optional
examples?: MaybeReadonlyArray<Value>The value of this keyword MUST be an array. When multiple occurrences of this keyword are applicable to a single sub-instance, implementations MUST provide a flat array of all values rather than an array of arrays.
This keyword can be used to provide sample JSON values associated with a particular schema, for the purpose of illustrating usage. It is RECOMMENDED that these values be valid against the associated schema.
Implementations MAY use the value(s) of default
, if present, as an
additional example. If examples
is absent, default
MAY still be
used in this manner.
Optional
exclusiveThe value of exclusiveMaximum
MUST be a number, representing an
exclusive upper limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then the instance is valid only if it has a
value strictly less than (not equal to) exclusiveMaximum
.
Optional
exclusiveThe value of exclusiveMinimum
MUST be a number, representing an
exclusive lower limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then the instance is valid only if it has a
value strictly greater than (not equal to) exclusiveMinimum
.
Optional
format?: stringImplementations MAY treat format
as an assertion in addition to an
annotation, and attempt to validate the value's conformance to the
specified semantics.
The value of this keyword is called a format attribute. It MUST be a string. A format attribute can generally only validate a given set of instance types. If the type of the instance to validate is not in this set, validation for this format attribute and instance SHOULD succeed. Format attributes are most often applied to strings, but can be specified to apply to any type.
Implementations MAY support custom format attributes. Save for agreement
between parties, schema authors SHALL NOT expect a peer implementation
to support such custom format attributes. An implementation MUST NOT
fail validation or cease processing due to an unknown format attribute.
When treating format
as an annotation, implementations SHOULD
collect both known and unknown format attribute values.
Optional
if?: JSONSchema<Value, SchemaType>This keyword's value MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
This validation outcome of this keyword's subschema has no direct effect
on the overall validation result. Rather, it controls which of the
then
or else
keywords are evaluated.
Instances that successfully validate against this keyword's subschema
MUST also be valid against the subschema value of the then
keyword,
if present.
Instances that fail to validate against this keyword's subschema MUST
also be valid against the subschema value of the else
keyword, if
present.
If annotations are being collected, they are collected
from this keyword's subschema in the usual way, including when the
keyword is present without either then
or else
.
Optional
items?: JSONSchemaThe value of items
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
This keyword applies its subschema to all instance elements at indexes
greater than the length of the prefixItems
array in the same schema
object, as reported by the annotation result of that prefixItems
keyword. If no such annotation result exists, items
applies its
subschema to all instance array elements.
Note that the behavior of items
without prefixItems
is identical
to that of the schema form of items
in prior drafts.
When prefixItems
is present, the behavior of items
is identical
to the former additionalItems
keyword.
If the items
subschema is applied to any positions within the
instance array, it produces an annotation result of boolean true
,
indicating that all remaining array elements have been evaluated against
this keyword's subschema.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty schema.
Implementations MAY choose to implement or optimize this keyword
in another way that produces the same effect, such as by directly
checking for the presence and size of a prefixItems
array.
Optional
maxThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
If contains
is not present within the same schema object, then this
keyword has no effect.
An instance array is valid against maxContains
in two ways,
depending on the form of the annotation result of an adjacent
contains
keyword. The first way is if the annotation result is an
array and the length of that array is less than or equal to the
maxContains
value. The second way is if the annotation result is a
boolean true
and the instance array length is less than or equal to
the maxContains
value.
Optional
maxThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
An array instance is valid against maxItems
if its size is less
than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
0
Optional
maxThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
A string instance is valid against this keyword if its length is less than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The length of a string instance is defined as the number of its characters as defined by RFC 8259.
0
Optional
maxThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
An object instance is valid against maxProperties
if its number of
properties
is less than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
0
Optional
maximum?: numberThe value of maximum
MUST be a number, representing an inclusive
upper limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then this keyword validates only if the
instance is less than or exactly equal to maximum
.
Optional
minThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
If contains
is not present within the same schema object, then this
keyword has no effect.
An instance array is valid against minContains
in two ways,
depending on the form of the annotation result of an adjacent
contains
keyword. The first way is if the annotation result is an
array and the length of that array is greater than or equal to the
minContains
value. The second way is if the annotation result is a
boolean true
and the instance array length is greater than or equal
to the minContains
value.
A value of 0
is allowed, but is only useful for setting a range
of occurrences from 0
to the value of maxContains
. A value of
0
with no maxContains
causes contains
to always pass
validation.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of 1
.
1
Optional
minThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
An array instance is valid against minItems
if its size is greater
than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of 0
.
0
0
Optional
minThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
A string instance is valid against this keyword if its length is greater than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The length of a string instance is defined as the number of its characters as defined by RFC 8259.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of 0
.
0
0
Optional
minThe value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
An object instance is valid against minProperties
if its number of
properties
is greater than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of 0
.
0
0
Optional
minimum?: numberThe value of minimum
MUST be a number, representing an inclusive
lower limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then this keyword validates only if the
instance is greater than or exactly equal to minimum
.
Optional
multipleThe value of multipleOf
MUST be a number, strictly greater than
0
.
A numeric instance is valid only if division by this keyword's value results in an integer.
0
Optional
not?: JSONSchema<Value, SchemaType>This keyword's value MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance is valid against this keyword if it fails to validate successfully against the schema defined by this keyword.
Optional
oneThis keyword's value MUST be a non-empty array. Each item of the array MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against exactly one schema defined by this keyword's value.
Optional
pattern?: stringThe value of this keyword MUST be a string. This string SHOULD be a valid regular expression, according to the ECMA-262 regular expression dialect.
A string instance is considered valid if the regular expression matches the instance successfully. Recall: regular expressions are not implicitly anchored.
"regex"
Optional
patternThe value of patternProperties
MUST be an object. Each property name
of this object SHOULD be a valid regular expression, according to the
ECMA-262 regular expression dialect. Each property value of
this object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
Validation succeeds if, for each instance name that matches any regular expressions that appear as a property name in this keyword's value, the child instance for that name successfully validates against each schema that corresponds to a matching regular expression.
The annotation result of this keyword is the set of instance property names matched by this keyword. Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty object.
Optional
prefixThe value of prefixItems
MUST be a non-empty array of valid JSON
Schemas.
Validation succeeds if each element of the instance validates against the schema at the same position, if any. This keyword does not constrain the length of the array. If the array is longer than this keyword's value, this keyword validates only the prefix of matching length.
This keyword produces an annotation value which is the largest index to
which this keyword applied a subschema. The value MAY be a boolean
true
if a subschema was applied to every index of the instance, such
as is produced by the items
keyword.
This annotation affects the behavior of items
and
unevaluatedItems
.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty array.
Optional
properties?: Record<string, JSONSchema>The value of properties
MUST be an object. Each value of this object
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
Validation succeeds if, for each name that appears in both the instance and as a name within this keyword's value, the child instance for that name successfully validates against the corresponding schema.
The annotation result of this keyword is the set of instance property names matched by this keyword.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty object.
Optional
propertyThe value of propertyNames
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
If the instance is an object, this keyword validates if every property name in the instance validates against the provided schema. Note the property name that the schema is testing will always be a string.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as an empty schema.
Optional
readThe value of this keyword MUST be a boolean. When multiple occurrences
of this keyword are applicable to a single sub-instance, the resulting
value MUST be true
if any occurrence specifies a true
value, and
MUST be false
otherwise.
If readOnly
has a value of boolean true
, it indicates that the
value of the instance is managed exclusively by the owning authority,
and attempts by an application to modify the value of this property are
expected to be ignored or rejected by that owning authority.
An instance document that is marked as readOnly
for the entire
document MAY be ignored if sent to the owning authority, or MAY result
in an error, at the authority's discretion.
For example, readOnly
would be used to mark a database-generated
serial number as read-only.
This keyword can be used to assist in user interface instance generation.
false
Optional
required?: MaybeReadonlyArray<string>The value of this keyword MUST be an array. Elements of this array, if any, MUST be strings, and MUST be unique.
An object instance is valid against this keyword if every item in the array is the name of a property in the instance.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as an empty array.
Optional
then?: JSONSchema<Value, SchemaType>This keyword's value MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
When if
is present, and the instance successfully validates against
its subschema, then validation succeeds against this keyword if the
instance also successfully validates against this keyword's subschema.
This keyword has no effect when if
is absent, or when the instance
fails to validate against its subschema. Implementations MUST NOT
evaluate the instance against this keyword, for either validation or
annotation collection purposes, in such cases.
Optional
title?: stringCan be used to decorate a user interface with a short label about the data produced.
Optional
type?: SchemaTypeThe value of this keyword MUST be either a string or an array. If it is an array, elements of the array MUST be strings and MUST be unique.
String values MUST be one of the six primitive types ("null"
,
"boolean"
, "object"
, "array"
, "number"
, or
"string"
), or "integer"
which matches any number with a zero
fractional part.
An instance validates if and only if the instance is in any of the sets listed for this keyword.
Optional
unevaluatedThe value of unevaluatedItems
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
The behavior of this keyword depends on the annotation results of
adjacent keywords that apply to the instance location being validated.
Specifically, the annotations from prefixItems
, items
, and
contains
, which can come from those keywords when they are adjacent
to the unevaluatedItems
keyword. Those three annotations, as well as
unevaluatedItems
, can also result from any and all adjacent
in-place applicator keywords.
If no relevant annotations are present, the unevaluatedItems
subschema MUST be applied to all locations in the array.
If a boolean true
value is present from any of the relevant
annotations, unevaluatedItems
MUST be ignored. Otherwise, the
subschema MUST be applied to any index greater than the largest
annotation value for prefixItems
, which does not appear in any
annotation value for contains
.
This means that prefixItems
, items
, contains
, and all
in-place applicators MUST be evaluated before this keyword can be
evaluated. Authors of extension keywords MUST NOT define an in-place
applicator that would need to be evaluated after this keyword.
If the unevaluatedItems
subschema is applied to any positions within
the instance array, it produces an annotation result of boolean
true
, analogous to the behavior of items
.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty schema.
Optional
unevaluatedThe value of unevaluatedProperties
MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
The behavior of this keyword depends on the annotation results of
adjacent keywords that apply to the instance location being validated.
Specifically, the annotations from properties
,
patternProperties
, and additionalProperties
, which can come from
those keywords when they are adjacent to the unevaluatedProperties
keyword. Those three annotations, as well as unevaluatedProperties
,
can also result from any and all adjacent
in-place applicator keywords.
Validation with unevaluatedProperties
applies only to the child
values of instance names that do not appear in the properties
,
patternProperties
, additionalProperties
, or
unevaluatedProperties
annotation results that apply to the
instance location being validated.
For all such properties, validation succeeds if the child instance validates against the "unevaluatedProperties" schema.
This means that properties
, patternProperties
,
additionalProperties
, and all in-place applicators MUST be evaluated
before this keyword can be evaluated. Authors of extension keywords
MUST NOT define an in-place applicator that would need to be evaluated
after this keyword.
The annotation result of this keyword is the set of instance property names validated by this keyword's subschema.
Omitting this keyword has the same assertion behavior as an empty schema.
Optional
uniqueThe value of this keyword MUST be a boolean.
If this keyword has boolean value false
, the instance validates
successfully. If it has boolean value true
, the instance validates
successfully if all of its elements are unique.
Omitting this keyword has the same behavior as a value of false
.
false
Optional
writeThe value of this keyword MUST be a boolean. When multiple occurrences
of this keyword is applicable to a single sub-instance, the resulting
value MUST be true
if any occurrence specifies a true
value, and
MUST be false
otherwise.
If writeOnly
has a value of boolean true
, it indicates that the
value is never present when the instance is retrieved from the owning
authority. It can be present when sent to the owning authority to update
or create the document (or the resource it represents), but it will not
be included in any updated or newly created version of the instance.
An instance document that is marked as writeOnly
for the entire
document MAY be returned as a blank document of some sort, or MAY
produce an error upon retrieval, or have the retrieval request ignored,
at the authority's discretion.
For example, writeOnly
would be used to mark a password input field.
These keywords can be used to assist in user interface instance generation. In particular, an application MAY choose to use a widget that hides input values as they are typed for write-only fields.
