foo|bar. foo|bar. foo|bar. form‑urlencoded |\n| [RFC1866](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1866#section-8.2.1) | 11/1995 | content-based serialization | [[RFC1738]] | obsoleted by [[HTML401]] [Section 17.13.4.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1), [[URL]] [Section 5](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlencoded-serializing) |\n\nStyle-based serialization is used in the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) when `schema` is present, and in the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) when at least one of `style`, `explode`, or `allowReserved` is present.\nSee [Appendix C](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for more details of RFC6570's two different approaches to percent-encoding, including an example involving `+`.\n\nContent-based serialization is defined by the [Media Type Object](#media-type-object), and used with the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) when the `content` field is present, and with the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) based on the `contentType` field when the fields `style`, `explode`, and `allowReserved` are absent.\nEach part is encoded based on the media type (e.g. `text/plain` or `application/json`), and must then be percent-encoded for use in a `form-urlencoded` string.\n\nNote that content-based serialization for `form-data` does not expect or require percent-encoding in the data, only in per-part header values.\n\n#### Interoperability with Historical Specifications\n\nIn most cases, generating query strings in strict compliance with [[RFC3986]] is sufficient to pass validation (including JSON Schema's `format: \"uri\"` and `format: \"uri-reference\"`), but some `form-urlencoded` implementations still expect the slightly more restrictive [[RFC1738]] rules to be used.\n\nSince all RFC1738-compliant URIs are compliant with RFC3986, applications needing to ensure historical interoperability SHOULD use RFC1738's rules.\n\n#### Interoperability with Web Browser Environments\n\nWHATWG is a [web browser-oriented](https://whatwg.org/faq#what-is-the-whatwg-working-on) standards group that has defined a \"URL Living Standard\" for parsing and serializing URLs in a browser context, including parsing and serializing `form-urlencoded` data.\nWHATWG's percent-encoding rules for query strings are different depending on whether the query string is [being treated as `form-urlencoded`](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application-x-www-form-urlencoded-percent-encode-set) (where it requires more percent-encoding than [[RFC1738]]) or [as part of the generic syntax](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#query-percent-encode-set), where it allows characters that [[RFC3986]] forbids.\n\nImplementations needing maximum compatibility with web browsers SHOULD use WHATWG's `form-urlencoded` percent-encoding rules.\nHowever, they SHOULD NOT rely on WHATWG's less stringent generic query string rules, as the resulting URLs would fail RFC3986 validation, including JSON Schema's `format: uri` and `format: uri-reference`.\n\n### Decoding URIs and `form-urlencoded` Strings\n\nThe percent-decoding algorithm does not care which characters were or were not percent-decoded, which means that URIs percent-encoded according to any specification will be decoded correctly.\n\nSimilarly, all `form-urlencoded` decoding algorithms simply add `+`-for-space handling to the percent-decoding algorithm, and will work regardless of the encoding specification used.\n\nHowever, care must be taken to use `form-urlencoded` decoding if `+` represents a space, and to use regular percent-decoding if `+` represents itself as a literal value.\n\n### Percent-Encoding and Illegal or Reserved Delimiters\n\nThe `[`, `]`, `|`, and space characters, which are used as delimiters for the `deepObject`, `pipeDelimited`, and `spaceDelimited` styles, respectively, all MUST be percent-encoded to comply with [[RFC3986]].\nThis requires users to pre-encode the character(s) in some other way in parameter names and values to distinguish them from the delimiter usage when using one of these styles.\n\nThe space character is always illegal and encoded in some way by all implementations of all versions of the relevant standards.\nWhile one could use the `form-urlencoded` convention of `+` to distinguish spaces in parameter names and values from `spaceDelimited` delimiters encoded as `%20`, the specifications define the decoding as a single pass, making it impossible to distinguish the different usages in the decoded result.\n\nSome environments use `[`, `]`, and possibly `|` unencoded in query strings without apparent difficulties, and WHATWG's generic query string rules do not require percent-encoding them.\nCode that relies on leaving these delimiters unencoded, while using regular percent-encoding for them within names and values, is not guaranteed to be interoperable across all implementations.\n\nFor maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED to either define and document an additional escape convention while percent-encoding the delimiters for these styles, or to avoid these styles entirely.\nThe exact method of additional encoding/escaping is left to the API designer, and is expected to be performed before serialization and encoding described in this specification, and reversed after this specification's encoding and serialization steps are reversed.\nThis keeps it outside of the processes governed by this specification.\n\n## Appendix F: Resolving Security Requirements in a Referenced Document\n\nThis appendix shows how to retrieve an HTTP-accessible multi-document OpenAPI Description (OAD) and resolve a [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) in the referenced (non-entry) document. See [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections) for more information.\n\nFirst, the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) is where parsing begins. It defines the `MySecurity` security scheme to be JWT-based, and it defines a Path Item as a reference to a component in another document:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"bearer\",\n \"bearerFormat\": \"JWT\"\n }\n }\n},\n\"paths\": {\n \"/foo\": {\n \"$ref\": \"other#/components/pathItems/Foo\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\npaths:\n /foo:\n $ref: 'other#/components/pathItems/Foo'\n```\n\nThis entry document references another document, `other`, without using a file extension. This gives the client the flexibility to choose an acceptable format on a resource-by-resource basis, assuming both representations are available:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"basic\"\n }\n },\n \"pathItems\": {\n \"Foo\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"security\": [\n \"MySecurity\": []\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: basic\n pathItems:\n Foo:\n get:\n security:\n - MySecurity: []\n```\n\nIn the `other` document, the referenced path item has a Security Requirement for a Security Scheme, `MySecurity`. The same Security Scheme exists in the original entry document. As outlined in [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections), `MySecurity` is resolved with an [implementation-defined behavior](#undefined-and-implementation-defined-behavior). However, documented in that section, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve component names from the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure). As with all implementation-defined behavior, it is important to check tool documentation to determine which behavior is supported.\n"

When properly defined, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic.\n\nAn OpenAPI definition can then be used by documentation generation tools to display the API, code generation tools to generate servers and clients in various programming languages, testing tools, and many other use cases.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n\n- [Definitions](#definitions)\n\t- [OpenAPI Document](#openapi-document)\n\t- [Path Templating](#path-templating)\n\t- [Media Types](#media-types)\n\t- [HTTP Status Codes](#http-status-codes)\n- [Specification](#specification)\n\t- [Versions](#versions)\n\t- [Format](#format)\n\t- [Document Structure](#document-structure)\n\t- [Data Types](#data-types)\n\t- [Rich Text Formatting](#rich-text-formatting)\n\t- [Relative References In URIs](#relative-references-in-uris)\n\t- [Relative References In URLs](#relative-references-in-urls)\n\t- [Schema](#schema)\n\t\t- [OpenAPI Object](#openapi-object)\n\t\t- [Info Object](#info-object)\n\t\t- [Contact Object](#contact-object)\n\t\t- [License Object](#license-object)\n\t\t- [Server Object](#server-object)\n\t\t- [Server Variable Object](#server-variable-object)\n\t\t- [Components Object](#components-object)\n\t\t- [Paths Object](#paths-object)\n\t\t- [Path Item Object](#path-item-object)\n\t\t- [Operation Object](#operation-object)\n\t\t- [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object)\n\t\t- [Parameter Object](#parameter-object)\n\t\t- [Request Body Object](#request-body-object)\n\t\t- [Media Type Object](#media-type-object)\n\t\t- [Encoding Object](#encoding-object)\n\t\t- [Responses Object](#responses-object)\n\t\t- [Response Object](#response-object)\n\t\t- [Callback Object](#callback-object)\n\t\t- [Example Object](#example-object)\n\t\t- [Link Object](#link-object)\n\t\t- [Header Object](#header-object)\n\t\t- [Tag Object](#tag-object)\n\t\t- [Reference Object](#reference-object)\n\t\t- [Schema Object](#schema-object)\n\t\t- [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object)\n\t\t- [XML Object](#xml-object)\n\t\t- [Security Scheme Object](#security-scheme-object)\n\t\t- [OAuth Flows Object](#oauth-flows-object)\n\t\t- [OAuth Flow Object](#oauth-flow-object)\n\t\t- [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)\n\t- [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions)\n\t- [Security Filtering](#security-filtering)\n- [Appendix A: Revision History](#appendix-a-revision-history)\n\t\n\n\n\n## Definitions\n\n##### OpenAPI Document\nA self-contained or composite resource which defines or describes an API or elements of an API. The OpenAPI document MUST contain at least one [paths](#paths-object) field, a [components](#oasComponents) field or a [webhooks](#oasWebhooks) field. An OpenAPI document uses and conforms to the OpenAPI Specification.\n\n##### Path Templating\nPath templating refers to the usage of template expressions, delimited by curly braces ({}), to mark a section of a URL path as replaceable using path parameters.\n\nEach template expression in the path MUST correspond to a path parameter that is included in the [Path Item](#path-item-object) itself and/or in each of the Path Item's [Operations](#operation-object). An exception is if the path item is empty, for example due to ACL constraints, matching path parameters are not required.\n\nThe value for these path parameters MUST NOT contain any unescaped \"generic syntax\" characters described by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3): forward slashes (`/`), question marks (`?`), or hashes (`#`).\n\n##### Media Types\nMedia type definitions are spread across several resources.\nThe media type definitions SHOULD be in compliance with [RFC6838](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838).\n\nSome examples of possible media type definitions:\n```\n text/plain; charset=utf-8\n application/json\n application/vnd.github+json\n application/vnd.github.v3+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.raw+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.text+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.html+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.full+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.diff\n application/vnd.github.v3.patch\n```\n##### HTTP Status Codes\nThe HTTP Status Codes are used to indicate the status of the executed operation.\nThe available status codes are defined by [RFC7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6) and registered status codes are listed in the [IANA Status Code Registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xhtml).\n\n## Specification\n\n### Versions\n\nThe OpenAPI Specification is versioned using a `major`.`minor`.`patch` versioning scheme. The `major`.`minor` portion of the version string (for example `3.1`) SHALL designate the OAS feature set. *`.patch`* versions address errors in, or provide clarifications to, this document, not the feature set. Tooling which supports OAS 3.1 SHOULD be compatible with all OAS 3.1.\\* versions. The patch version SHOULD NOT be considered by tooling, making no distinction between `3.1.0` and `3.1.1` for example.\n\nOccasionally, non-backwards compatible changes may be made in `minor` versions of the OAS where impact is believed to be low relative to the benefit provided.\n\nAn OpenAPI document compatible with OAS 3.\\*.\\* contains a required [`openapi`](#oasVersion) field which designates the version of the OAS that it uses.\n\n### Format\n\nAn OpenAPI document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification is itself a JSON object, which may be represented either in JSON or YAML format.\n\nFor example, if a field has an array value, the JSON array representation will be used:\n\n```json\n{\n \"field\": [ 1, 2, 3 ]\n}\n```\nAll field names in the specification are **case sensitive**.\nThis includes all fields that are used as keys in a map, except where explicitly noted that keys are **case insensitive**.\n\nThe schema exposes two types of fields: Fixed fields, which have a declared name, and Patterned fields, which declare a regex pattern for the field name.\n\nPatterned fields MUST have unique names within the containing object.\n\nIn order to preserve the ability to round-trip between YAML and JSON formats, YAML version [1.2](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html) is RECOMMENDED along with some additional constraints:\n\n- Tags MUST be limited to those allowed by the [JSON Schema ruleset](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2803231).\n- Keys used in YAML maps MUST be limited to a scalar string, as defined by the [YAML Failsafe schema ruleset](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2802346).\n\n**Note:** While APIs may be defined by OpenAPI documents in either YAML or JSON format, the API request and response bodies and other content are not required to be JSON or YAML.\n\n### Document Structure\n\nAn OpenAPI document MAY be made up of a single document or be divided into multiple, connected parts at the discretion of the author. In the latter case, [`Reference Objects`](#reference-object) and [`Schema Object`](#schema-object) `$ref` keywords are used.\n\nIt is RECOMMENDED that the root OpenAPI document be named: `openapi.json` or `openapi.yaml`.\n\n### Data Types\n\nData types in the OAS are based on the types supported by the [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-4.2.1).\nNote that `integer` as a type is also supported and is defined as a JSON number without a fraction or exponent part.\nModels are defined using the [Schema Object](#schema-object), which is a superset of JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12.\n\nAs defined by the [JSON Schema Validation vocabulary](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-7.3), data types can have an optional modifier property: `format`.\nOAS defines additional formats to provide fine detail for primitive data types.\n\nThe formats defined by the OAS are:\n\n[`type`](#data-types) | [`format`](#dataTypeFormat) | Comments\n------ | -------- | --------\n`integer` | `int32` | signed 32 bits\n`integer` | `int64` | signed 64 bits (a.k.a long)\n`number` | `float` | |\n`number` | `double` | |\n`string` | `password` | A hint to UIs to obscure input.\n\n### Rich Text Formatting\nThroughout the specification `description` fields are noted as supporting CommonMark markdown formatting.\nWhere OpenAPI tooling renders rich text it MUST support, at a minimum, markdown syntax as described by [CommonMark 0.27](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/). Tooling MAY choose to ignore some CommonMark features to address security concerns.\n\n### Relative References in URIs\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all properties that are URIs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\n\nRelative references, including those in [`Reference Objects`](#reference-object), [`PathItem Object`](#path-item-object) `$ref` fields, [`Link Object`](#link-object) `operationRef` fields and [`Example Object`](#example-object) `externalValue` fields, are resolved using the referring document as the Base URI according to [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.2).\n\nIf a URI contains a fragment identifier, then the fragment should be resolved per the fragment resolution mechanism of the referenced document. If the representation of the referenced document is JSON or YAML, then the fragment identifier SHOULD be interpreted as a JSON-Pointer as per [RFC6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).\n\nRelative references in [`Schema Objects`](#schema-object), including any that appear as `$id` values, use the nearest parent `$id` as a Base URI, as described by [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-8.2). If no parent schema contains an `$id`, then the Base URI MUST be determined according to [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1).\n\n### Relative References in URLs\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all properties that are URLs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\nUnless specified otherwise, relative references are resolved using the URLs defined in the [`Server Object`](#server-object) as a Base URL. Note that these themselves MAY be relative to the referring document.\n\n### Schema\n\nIn the following description, if a field is not explicitly **REQUIRED** or described with a MUST or SHALL, it can be considered OPTIONAL.\n\n#### OpenAPI Object\n\nThis is the root object of the [OpenAPI document](#openapi-document).\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\nopenapi | `string` | **REQUIRED**. This string MUST be the [version number](#versions) of the OpenAPI Specification that the OpenAPI document uses. The `openapi` field SHOULD be used by tooling to interpret the OpenAPI document. This is *not* related to the API [`info.version`](#infoVersion) string.\ninfo | [Info Object](#info-object) | **REQUIRED**. Provides metadata about the API. The metadata MAY be used by tooling as required.\n jsonSchemaDialect | `string` | The default value for the `$schema` keyword within [Schema Objects](#schema-object) contained within this OAS document. This MUST be in the form of a URI.\nservers | [[Server Object](#server-object)] | An array of Server Objects, which provide connectivity information to a target server. If the `servers` property is not provided, or is an empty array, the default value would be a [Server Object](#server-object) with a [url](#serverUrl) value of `/`.\npaths | [Paths Object](#paths-object) | The available paths and operations for the API.\nwebhooks | Map[`string`, [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] ] | The incoming webhooks that MAY be received as part of this API and that the API consumer MAY choose to implement. Closely related to the `callbacks` feature, this section describes requests initiated other than by an API call, for example by an out of band registration. The key name is a unique string to refer to each webhook, while the (optionally referenced) Path Item Object describes a request that may be initiated by the API provider and the expected responses. An [example](../examples/v3.1/webhook-example.yaml) is available.\ncomponents | [Components Object](#components-object) | An element to hold various schemas for the document.\nsecurity | [[Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)] | A declaration of which security mechanisms can be used across the API. The list of values includes alternative security requirement objects that can be used. Only one of the security requirement objects need to be satisfied to authorize a request. Individual operations can override this definition. To make security optional, an empty security requirement (`{}`) can be included in the array.\ntags | [[Tag Object](#tag-object)] | A list of tags used by the document with additional metadata. The order of the tags can be used to reflect on their order by the parsing tools. Not all tags that are used by the [Operation Object](#operation-object) must be declared. The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique.\nexternalDocs | [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) | Additional external documentation.\n\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Info Object\n\nThe object provides metadata about the API.\nThe metadata MAY be used by the clients if needed, and MAY be presented in editing or documentation generation tools for convenience.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\ntitle | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The title of the API.\nsummary | `string` | A short summary of the API.\ndescription | `string` | A description of the API. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.\ntermsOfService | `string` | A URL to the Terms of Service for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URL.\ncontact | [Contact Object](#contact-object) | The contact information for the exposed API.\nlicense | [License Object](#license-object) | The license information for the exposed API.\nversion | `string` | **REQUIRED**.

[CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.\nvariables | Map[`string`, [Server Variable Object](#server-variable-object)] | A map between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template.\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Server Object Example\n\nA single server would be described as:\n\n```json\n{\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nurl: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\ndescription: Development server\n```\n\nThe following shows how multiple servers can be described, for example, at the OpenAPI Object's [`servers`](#oasServers):\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Staging server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Production server\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n- url: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Development server\n- url: https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Staging server\n- url: https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Production server\n```\n\nThe following shows how variables can be used for a server configuration:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\",\n \"description\": \"The production API server\",\n \"variables\": {\n \"username\": {\n \"default\": \"demo\",\n \"description\": \"this value is assigned by the service provider, in this example `gigantic-server.com`\"\n },\n \"port\": {\n \"enum\": [\n \"8443\",\n \"443\"\n ],\n \"default\": \"8443\"\n },\n \"basePath\": {\n \"default\": \"v2\"\n }\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n- url: https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\n description: The production API server\n variables:\n username:\n # note! no enum here means it is an open value\n default: demo\n description: this value is assigned by the service provider, in this example `gigantic-server.com`\n port:\n enum:\n - '8443'\n - '443'\n default: '8443'\n basePath:\n # open meaning there is the opportunity to use special base paths as assigned by the provider, default is `v2`\n default: v2\n```\n\n\n#### Server Variable Object\n\nAn object representing a Server Variable for server URL template substitution.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\nenum | [`string`] | An enumeration of string values to be used if the substitution options are from a limited set. The array MUST NOT be empty.\ndefault | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The default value to use for substitution, which SHALL be sent if an alternate value is _not_ supplied.

and their operations.\nThe path is appended to the URL from the [`Server Object`](#server-object) in order to construct the full URL. The Paths MAY be empty, due to [Access Control List (ACL) constraints](#security-filtering).\n\n##### Patterned Fields\n\nField Pattern | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\n/{path} | [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) | A relative path to an individual endpoint. The field name MUST begin with a forward slash (`/`). The path is **appended** (no relative URL resolution) to the expanded URL from the [`Server Object`](#server-object)'s `url` field in order to construct the full URL. [Path templating](#path-templating) is allowed. When matching URLs, concrete (non-templated) paths would be matched before their templated counterparts. Templated paths with the same hierarchy but different templated names MUST NOT exist as they are identical. In case of ambiguous matching, it's up to the tooling to decide which one to use.\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Path Templating Matching\n\nAssuming the following paths, the concrete definition, `/pets/mine`, will be matched first if used:\n\n```\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/mine\n```\n\nThe following paths are considered identical and invalid:\n\n```\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/{name}\n```\n\nThe following may lead to ambiguous resolution:\n\n```\n /{entity}/me\n /books/{id}\n```\n\n##### Paths Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"/pets\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"description\": \"Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\",\n \"responses\": {\n \"200\": { \n \"description\": \"A list of pets.\",\n \"content\": {\n \"application/json\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"$ref\": \"#/components/schemas/pet\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\n/pets:\n get:\n description: Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\n responses:\n '200':\n description: A list of pets.\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/pet'\n```\n\n#### Path Item Object\n\nDescribes the operations available on a single path.\nA Path Item MAY be empty, due to [ACL constraints](#security-filtering).\nThe path itself is still exposed to the documentation viewer but they will not know which operations and parameters are available.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\n$ref | `string` | Allows for a referenced definition of this path item. The referenced structure MUST be in the form of a [Path Item Object](#path-item-object). In case a Path Item Object field appears both in the defined object and the referenced object, the behavior is undefined.

These parameters can be overridden at the operation level, but cannot be removed there. The list MUST NOT include duplicated parameters. A unique parameter is defined by a combination of a [name](#parameterName) and [location](#parameterIn). The list can use the [Reference Object](#reference-object) to link to parameters that are defined at the [OpenAPI Object's components/parameters](#componentsParameters).\n\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Path Item Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"get\": {\n \"description\": \"Returns pets based on ID\",\n \"summary\": \"Find pets by ID\",\n \"operationId\": \"getPetsById\",\n \"responses\": {\n \"200\": {\n \"description\": \"pet response\",\n \"content\": {\n \"*/*\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"$ref\": \"#/components/schemas/Pet\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n },\n \"default\": {\n \"description\": \"error payload\",\n \"content\": {\n \"text/html\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"$ref\": \"#/components/schemas/ErrorModel\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n },\n \"parameters\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"id\",\n \"in\": \"path\",\n \"description\": \"ID of pet to use\",\n \"required\": true,\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"type\": \"string\"\n }\n },\n \"style\": \"simple\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nget:\n description: Returns pets based on ID\n summary: Find pets by ID\n operationId: getPetsById\n responses:\n '200':\n description: pet response\n content:\n '*/*' :\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n default:\n description: error payload\n content:\n 'text/html':\n schema:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorModel'\nparameters:\n- name: id\n in: path\n description: ID of pet to use\n required: true\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n type: string \n style: simple\n```\n\n#### Operation Object\n\nDescribes a single API operation on a path.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\ntags | [`string`] | A list of tags for API documentation control. Tags can be used for logical grouping of operations by resources or any other qualifier.\nsummary | `string` | A short summary of what the operation does.\ndescription | `string` | A verbose explanation of the operation behavior. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.\nexternalDocs | [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) | Additional external documentation for this operation.\noperationId | `string` | Unique string used to identify the operation. The id MUST be unique among all operations described in the API. The operationId value is **case-sensitive**. Tools and libraries MAY use the operationId to uniquely identify an operation, therefore, it is RECOMMENDED to follow common programming naming conventions.\nparameters | [[Parameter Object](#parameter-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | A list of parameters that are applicable for this operation. If a parameter is already defined at the [Path Item](#pathItemParameters), the new definition will override it but can never remove it. The list MUST NOT include duplicated parameters. A unique parameter is defined by a combination of a [name](#parameterName) and [location](#parameterIn). The list can use the [Reference Object](#reference-object) to link to parameters that are defined at the [OpenAPI Object's components/parameters](#componentsParameters).\nrequestBody | [Request Body Object](#request-body-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object) | The request body applicable for this operation. The `requestBody` is fully supported in HTTP methods where the HTTP 1.1 specification [RFC7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1) has explicitly defined semantics for request bodies. In other cases where the HTTP spec is vague (such as [GET](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1), [HEAD](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.2) and [DELETE](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.5)), `requestBody` is permitted but does not have well-defined semantics and SHOULD be avoided if possible.\nresponses | [Responses Object](#responses-object) | The list of possible responses as they are returned from executing this operation.\ncallbacks | Map[`string`, [Callback Object](#callback-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | A map of possible out-of band callbacks related to the parent operation. The key is a unique identifier for the Callback Object. Each value in the map is a [Callback Object](#callback-object) that describes a request that may be initiated by the API provider and the expected responses.\ndeprecated | `boolean` | Declares this operation to be deprecated. Consumers SHOULD refrain from usage of the declared operation. Default value is `false`.\nsecurity | [[Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)] | A declaration of which security mechanisms can be used for this operation. The list of values includes alternative security requirement objects that can be used. Only one of the security requirement objects need to be satisfied to authorize a request. To make security optional, an empty security requirement (`{}`) can be included in the array. This definition overrides any declared top-level [`security`](#oasSecurity). To remove a top-level security declaration, an empty array can be used.\nservers | [[Server Object](#server-object)] | An alternative `server` array to service this operation. If an alternative `server` object is specified at the Path Item Object or Root level, it will be overridden by this value.\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Operation Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"tags\": [\n \"pet\"\n ],\n \"summary\": \"Updates a pet in the store with form data\",\n \"operationId\": \"updatePetWithForm\",\n \"parameters\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"petId\",\n \"in\": \"path\",\n \"description\": \"ID of pet that needs to be updated\",\n \"required\": true,\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"string\"\n }\n }\n ],\n \"requestBody\": {\n \"content\": {\n \"application/x-www-form-urlencoded\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"name\": {\n \"description\": \"Updated name of the pet\",\n \"type\": \"string\"\n },\n \"status\": {\n \"description\": \"Updated status of the pet\",\n \"type\": \"string\"\n }\n },\n \"required\": [\"status\"]\n }\n }\n }\n },\n \"responses\": {\n \"200\": {\n \"description\": \"Pet updated.\",\n \"content\": {\n \"application/json\": {},\n \"application/xml\": {}\n }\n },\n \"405\": {\n \"description\": \"Method Not Allowed\",\n \"content\": {\n \"application/json\": {},\n \"application/xml\": {}\n }\n }\n },\n \"security\": [\n {\n \"petstore_auth\": [\n \"write:pets\",\n \"read:pets\"\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\ntags:\n- pet\nsummary: Updates a pet in the store with form data\noperationId: updatePetWithForm\nparameters:\n- name: petId\n in: path\n description: ID of pet that needs to be updated\n required: true\n schema:\n type: string\nrequestBody:\n content:\n 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded':\n schema:\n type: object\n properties:\n name:\n description: Updated name of the pet\n type: string\n status:\n description: Updated status of the pet\n type: string\n required:\n - status\nresponses:\n '200':\n description: Pet updated.\n content:\n 'application/json': {}\n 'application/xml': {}\n '405':\n description: Method Not Allowed\n content:\n 'application/json': {}\n 'application/xml': {}\nsecurity:\n- petstore_auth:\n - write:pets\n - read:pets\n```\n\n\n#### External Documentation Object\n\nAllows referencing an external resource for extended documentation.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\ndescription | `string` | A description of the target documentation. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.\nurl | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The URL for the target documentation. This MUST be in the form of a URL.\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### External Documentation Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"description\": \"Find more info here\",\n \"url\": \"https://example.com\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\ndescription: Find more info here\nurl: https://example.com\n```\n\n#### Parameter Object\n\nDescribes a single operation parameter.\n\nA unique parameter is defined by a combination of a [name](#parameterName) and [location](#parameterIn).\n\n##### Parameter Locations\nThere are four possible parameter locations specified by the `in` field:\n* path - Used together with [Path Templating](#path-templating), where the parameter value is actually part of the operation's URL. This does not include the host or base path of the API. For example, in `/items/{itemId}`, the path parameter is `itemId`.\n* query - Parameters that are appended to the URL. For example, in `/items?id=###`, the query parameter is `id`.\n* header - Custom headers that are expected as part of the request. Note that [RFC7230](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#page-22) states header names are case insensitive.\n* cookie - Used to pass a specific cookie value to the API.\n\n\n##### Fixed Fields\nField Name | Type | Description\n---|:---:|---\nname | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The name of the parameter. Parameter names are *case sensitive*. type: stringformat: binary | contentMediaType: image/png | if redundant, can be omitted, often resulting in an empty [Schema Object](#schema-object) |\n| type: stringformat: byte | type: stringcontentMediaType: image/pngcontentEncoding: base64 | note that `base64url` can be used to avoid re-encoding the base64 string to be URL-safe |\n\n### Rich Text Formatting\n\nThroughout the specification `description` fields are noted as supporting CommonMark markdown formatting.\nWhere OpenAPI tooling renders rich text it MUST support, at a minimum, markdown syntax as described by [CommonMark 0.27](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/). Tooling MAY choose to ignore some CommonMark or extension features to address security concerns.\n\nWhile the framing of CommonMark 0.27 as a minimum requirement means that tooling MAY choose to implement extensions on top of it, note that any such extensions are by definition implementation-defined and will not be interoperable.\nOpenAPI Description authors SHOULD consider how text using such extensions will be rendered by tools that offer only the minimum support.\n\n### Relative References in API Description URIs\n\nURIs used as references within an OpenAPI Description, or to external documentation or other supplementary information such as a license, are resolved as _identifiers_, and described by this specification as **_URIs_**.\nAs noted under [Parsing Documents](#parsing-documents), this specification inherits JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12's requirements for [loading documents](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-9) and associating them with their expected URIs, which might not match their current location.\nThis feature is used both for working in development or test environments without having to change the URIs, and for working within restrictive network configurations or security policies.\n\nNote that some URI fields are named `url` for historical reasons, but the descriptive text for those fields uses the correct \"URI\" terminology.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URIs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\n\nRelative references in [Schema Objects](#schema-object), including any that appear as `$id` values, use the nearest parent `$id` as a Base URI, as described by [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-8.2).\n\nRelative URI references in other Objects, and in Schema Objects where no parent schema contains an `$id`, MUST be resolved using the referring document's base URI, which is determined in accordance with [[RFC3986]] [Section 5.1.2 – 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2).\nIn practice, this is usually the retrieval URI of the document, which MAY be determined based on either its current actual location or a user-supplied expected location.\n\nIf a URI contains a fragment identifier, then the fragment should be resolved per the fragment resolution mechanism of the referenced document. If the representation of the referenced document is JSON or YAML, then the fragment identifier SHOULD be interpreted as a JSON-Pointer as per [RFC6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).\n\nRelative references in CommonMark hyperlinks are resolved in their rendered context, which might differ from the context of the API description.\n\n### Relative References in API URLs\n\nAPI endpoints are by definition accessed as locations, and are described by this specification as **_URLs_**.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URLs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\nUnless specified otherwise, relative references are resolved using the URLs defined in the [Server Object](#server-object) as a Base URL. Note that these themselves MAY be relative to the referring document.\n\n### Schema\n\nThis section describes the structure of the OpenAPI Description format.\nThis text is the only normative description of the format.\nA JSON Schema is hosted on [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org) for informational purposes.\nIf the JSON Schema differs from this section, then this section MUST be considered authoritative.\n\nIn the following description, if a field is not explicitly **REQUIRED** or described with a MUST or SHALL, it can be considered OPTIONAL.\n\n#### OpenAPI Object\n\nThis is the root object of the [OpenAPI Description](#openapi-description).\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| openapi | `string` | **REQUIRED**. This string MUST be the [version number](#versions) of the OpenAPI Specification that the OpenAPI Document uses. The `openapi` field SHOULD be used by tooling to interpret the OpenAPI Document. This is _not_ related to the API [`info.version`](#info-version) string. |\n| info | [Info Object](#info-object) | **REQUIRED**. Provides metadata about the API. The metadata MAY be used by tooling as required. |\n| jsonSchemaDialect | `string` | The default value for the `$schema` keyword within [Schema Objects](#schema-object) contained within this OAS document. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| servers | [[Server Object](#server-object)] | An array of Server Objects, which provide connectivity information to a target server. If the `servers` field is not provided, or is an empty array, the default value would be a [Server Object](#server-object) with a [url](#server-url) value of `/`. |\n| paths | [Paths Object](#paths-object) | The available paths and operations for the API. |\n| webhooks | Map[`string`, [Path Item Object](#path-item-object)] | The incoming webhooks that MAY be received as part of this API and that the API consumer MAY choose to implement. Closely related to the `callbacks` feature, this section describes requests initiated other than by an API call, for example by an out of band registration. The key name is a unique string to refer to each webhook, while the (optionally referenced) Path Item Object describes a request that may be initiated by the API provider and the expected responses. An [example](https://learn.openapis.org/examples/v3.1/webhook-example.html) is available. |\n| components | [Components Object](#components-object) | An element to hold various Objects for the OpenAPI Description. |\n| security | [[Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)] | A declaration of which security mechanisms can be used across the API. The list of values includes alternative Security Requirement Objects that can be used. Only one of the Security Requirement Objects need to be satisfied to authorize a request. Individual operations can override this definition. The list can be incomplete, up to being empty or absent. To make security explicitly optional, an empty security requirement (`{}`) can be included in the array. |\n| tags | [[Tag Object](#tag-object)] | A list of tags used by the OpenAPI Description with additional metadata. The order of the tags can be used to reflect on their order by the parsing tools. Not all tags that are used by the [Operation Object](#operation-object) must be declared. The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique. |\n| externalDocs | [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) | Additional external documentation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Info Object\n\nThe object provides metadata about the API.\nThe metadata MAY be used by the clients if needed, and MAY be presented in editing or documentation generation tools for convenience.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| title | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The title of the API. |\n| summary | `string` | A short summary of the API. |\n| description | `string` | A description of the API. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| termsOfService | `string` | A URI for the Terms of Service for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| contact | [Contact Object](#contact-object) | The contact information for the exposed API. |\n| license | [License Object](#license-object) | The license information for the exposed API. |\n| version | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The version of the OpenAPI Document (which is distinct from the [OpenAPI Specification version](#oas-version) or the version of the API being described or the version of the OpenAPI Description). |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Info Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"title\": \"Example Pet Store App\",\n \"summary\": \"A pet store manager.\",\n \"description\": \"This is an example server for a pet store.\",\n \"termsOfService\": \"https://example.com/terms/\",\n \"contact\": {\n \"name\": \"API Support\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.example.com/support\",\n \"email\": \"support@example.com\"\n },\n \"license\": {\n \"name\": \"Apache 2.0\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html\"\n },\n \"version\": \"1.0.1\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\ntitle: Example Pet Store App\nsummary: A pet store manager.\ndescription: This is an example server for a pet store.\ntermsOfService: https://example.com/terms/\ncontact:\n name: API Support\n url: https://www.example.com/support\n email: support@example.com\nlicense:\n name: Apache 2.0\n url: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html\nversion: 1.0.1\n```\n\n#### Contact Object\n\nContact information for the exposed API.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | The identifying name of the contact person/organization. |\n| url | `string` | The URI for the contact information. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| email | `string` | The email address of the contact person/organization. This MUST be in the form of an email address. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Contact Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"name\": \"API Support\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.example.com/support\",\n \"email\": \"support@example.com\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nname: API Support\nurl: https://www.example.com/support\nemail: support@example.com\n```\n\n#### License Object\n\nLicense information for the exposed API.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The license name used for the API. |\n| identifier | `string` | An [SPDX](https://spdx.org/licenses/) license expression for the API. The `identifier` field is mutually exclusive of the `url` field. |\n| url | `string` | A URI for the license used for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. The `url` field is mutually exclusive of the `identifier` field. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### License Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"name\": \"Apache 2.0\",\n \"identifier\": \"Apache-2.0\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nname: Apache 2.0\nidentifier: Apache-2.0\n```\n\n#### Server Object\n\nAn object representing a Server.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| url | `string` | **REQUIRED**. A URL to the target host. This URL supports Server Variables and MAY be relative, to indicate that the host location is relative to the location where the document containing the Server Object is being served. Variable substitutions will be made when a variable is named in `{`braces`}`. |\n| description | `string` | An optional string describing the host designated by the URL. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| variables | Map[`string`, [Server Variable Object](#server-variable-object)] | A map between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Server Object Example\n\nA single server would be described as:\n\n```json\n{\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nurl: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\ndescription: Development server\n```\n\nThe following shows how multiple servers can be described, for example, at the OpenAPI Object's [`servers`](#oas-servers):\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Staging server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Production server\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n - url: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Development server\n - url: https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Staging server\n - url: https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Production server\n```\n\nThe following shows how variables can be used for a server configuration:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\",\n \"description\": \"The production API server\",\n \"variables\": {\n \"username\": {\n \"default\": \"demo\",\n \"description\": \"A user-specific subdomain.

Use `demo` for a free sandbox environment.\n port:\n enum:\n - '8443'\n - '443'\n default: '8443'\n basePath:\n # open meaning there is the opportunity to use special base paths as assigned by the provider, default is `v2`\n default: v2\n```\n\n#### Server Variable Object\n\nAn object representing a Server Variable for server URL template substitution.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| enum | [`string`] | An enumeration of string values to be used if the substitution options are from a limited set. The array MUST NOT be empty. |\n| default | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The default value to use for substitution, which SHALL be sent if an alternate value is _not_ supplied. If the [`enum`](#server-variable-enum) is defined, the value MUST exist in the enum's values. Note that this behavior is different from the [Schema Object](#schema-object)'s `default` keyword, which documents the receiver's behavior rather than inserting the value into the data. |\n| description | `string` | An optional description for the server variable. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n####

and their operations.\nThe path is appended to the URL from the [Server Object](#server-object) in order to construct the full URL. The Paths Object MAY be empty, due to [Access Control List (ACL) constraints](#security-filtering).\n\n##### Patterned Fields\n\n| Field Pattern | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| /{path} | [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) | A relative path to an individual endpoint. The field name MUST begin with a forward slash (`/`). The path is **appended** (no relative URL resolution) to the expanded URL from the [Server Object](#server-object)'s `url` field in order to construct the full URL. [Path templating](#path-templating) is allowed. When matching URLs, concrete (non-templated) paths would be matched before their templated counterparts. Templated paths with the same hierarchy but different templated names MUST NOT exist as they are identical. In case of ambiguous matching, it's up to the tooling to decide which one to use. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Path Templating Matching\n\nAssuming the following paths, the concrete definition, `/pets/mine`, will be matched first if used:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/mine\n```\n\nThe following paths are considered identical and invalid:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/{name}\n```\n\nThe following may lead to ambiguous resolution:\n\n```text\n /{entity}/me\n /books/{id}\n```\n\n##### Paths Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"/pets\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"description\": \"Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\",\n \"responses\": {\n \"200\": {\n \"description\": \"A list of pets.\",\n \"content\": {\n \"application/json\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"$ref\": \"#/components/schemas/pet\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\n/pets:\n get:\n description: Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\n responses:\n '200':\n description: A list of pets.\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/pet'\n```\n\n#### Path Item Object\n\nDescribes the operations available on a single path.\nA Path Item MAY be empty, due to [ACL constraints](#security-filtering).\nThe path itself is still exposed to the documentation viewer but they will not know which operations and parameters are available.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| $ref | `string` | Allows for a referenced definition of this path item. The value MUST be in the form of a URI, and the referenced structure MUST be in the form of a [Path Item Object](#path-item-object). In case a Path Item Object field appears both in the defined object and the referenced object, the behavior is undefined. See the rules for resolving [Relative References](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris). form‑urlencoded |\n| [RFC1866](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1866#section-8.2.1) | 11/1995 | content-based serialization | [[RFC1738]] | obsoleted by [[HTML401]] [Section 17.13.4.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1), [[URL]] [Section 5](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlencoded-serializing) |\n\nStyle-based serialization is used in the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) when `schema` is present, and in the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) when at least one of `style`, `explode`, or `allowReserved` is present.\nSee [Appendix C](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for more details of RFC6570's two different approaches to percent-encoding, including an example involving `+`.\n\nContent-based serialization is defined by the [Media Type Object](#media-type-object), and used with the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) when the `content` field is present, and with the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) based on the `contentType` field when the fields `style`, `explode`, and `allowReserved` are absent.\nEach part is encoded based on the media type (e.g. `text/plain` or `application/json`), and must then be percent-encoded for use in a `form-urlencoded` string.\n\nNote that content-based serialization for `form-data` does not expect or require percent-encoding in the data, only in per-part header values.\n\n#### Interoperability with Historical Specifications\n\nIn most cases, generating query strings in strict compliance with [[RFC3986]] is sufficient to pass validation (including JSON Schema's `format: \"uri\"` and `format: \"uri-reference\"`), but some `form-urlencoded` implementations still expect the slightly more restrictive [[RFC1738]] rules to be used.\n\nSince all RFC1738-compliant URIs are compliant with RFC3986, applications needing to ensure historical interoperability SHOULD use RFC1738's rules.\n\n#### Interoperability with Web Browser Environments\n\nWHATWG is a [web browser-oriented](https://whatwg.org/faq#what-is-the-whatwg-working-on) standards group that has defined a \"URL Living Standard\" for parsing and serializing URLs in a browser context, including parsing and serializing `form-urlencoded` data.\nWHATWG's percent-encoding rules for query strings are different depending on whether the query string is [being treated as `form-urlencoded`](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application-x-www-form-urlencoded-percent-encode-set) (where it requires more percent-encoding than [[RFC1738]]) or [as part of the generic syntax](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#query-percent-encode-set), where it allows characters that [[RFC3986]] forbids.\n\nImplementations needing maximum compatibility with web browsers SHOULD use WHATWG's `form-urlencoded` percent-encoding rules.\nHowever, they SHOULD NOT rely on WHATWG's less stringent generic query string rules, as the resulting URLs would fail RFC3986 validation, including JSON Schema's `format: uri` and `format: uri-reference`.\n\n### Decoding URIs and `form-urlencoded` Strings\n\nThe percent-decoding algorithm does not care which characters were or were not percent-decoded, which means that URIs percent-encoded according to any specification will be decoded correctly.\n\nSimilarly, all `form-urlencoded` decoding algorithms simply add `+`-for-space handling to the percent-decoding algorithm, and will work regardless of the encoding specification used.\n\nHowever, care must be taken to use `form-urlencoded` decoding if `+` represents a space, and to use regular percent-decoding if `+` represents itself as a literal value.\n\n### Percent-Encoding and Illegal or Reserved Delimiters\n\nThe `[`, `]`, `|`, and space characters, which are used as delimiters for the `deepObject`, `pipeDelimited`, and `spaceDelimited` styles, respectively, all MUST be percent-encoded to comply with [[RFC3986]].\nThis requires users to pre-encode the character(s) in some other way in parameter names and values to distinguish them from the delimiter usage when using one of these styles.\n\nThe space character is always illegal and encoded in some way by all implementations of all versions of the relevant standards.\nWhile one could use the `form-urlencoded` convention of `+` to distinguish spaces in parameter names and values from `spaceDelimited` delimiters encoded as `%20`, the specifications define the decoding as a single pass, making it impossible to distinguish the different usages in the decoded result.\n\nSome environments use `[`, `]`, and possibly `|` unencoded in query strings without apparent difficulties, and WHATWG's generic query string rules do not require percent-encoding them.\nCode that relies on leaving these delimiters unencoded, while using regular percent-encoding for them within names and values, is not guaranteed to be interoperable across all implementations.\n\nFor maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED to either define and document an additional escape convention while percent-encoding the delimiters for these styles, or to avoid these styles entirely.\nThe exact method of additional encoding/escaping is left to the API designer, and is expected to be performed before serialization and encoding described in this specification, and reversed after this specification's encoding and serialization steps are reversed.\nThis keeps it outside of the processes governed by this specification.\n\n## Appendix F: Resolving Security Requirements in a Referenced Document\n\nThis appendix shows how to retrieve an HTTP-accessible multi-document OpenAPI Description (OAD) and resolve a [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) in the referenced (non-entry) document. See [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections) for more information.\n\nFirst, the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) is where parsing begins. It defines the `MySecurity` security scheme to be JWT-based, and it defines a Path Item as a reference to a component in another document:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"bearer\",\n \"bearerFormat\": \"JWT\"\n }\n }\n},\n\"paths\": {\n \"/foo\": {\n \"$ref\": \"other#/components/pathItems/Foo\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\npaths:\n /foo:\n $ref: 'other#/components/pathItems/Foo'\n```\n\nThis entry document references another document, `other`, without using a file extension. This gives the client the flexibility to choose an acceptable format on a resource-by-resource basis, assuming both representations are available:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"basic\"\n }\n },\n \"pathItems\": {\n \"Foo\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"security\": [\n \"MySecurity\": []\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: basic\n pathItems:\n Foo:\n get:\n security:\n - MySecurity: []\n```\n\nIn the `other` document, the referenced path item has a Security Requirement for a Security Scheme, `MySecurity`. The same Security Scheme exists in the original entry document. As outlined in [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections), `MySecurity` is resolved with an [implementation-defined behavior](#undefined-and-implementation-defined-behavior). However, documented in that section, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve component names from the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure). As with all implementation-defined behavior, it is important to check tool documentation to determine which behavior is supported.\n"

When properly defined, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic.\n\nAn OpenAPI Description can then be used by documentation generation tools to display the API, code generation tools to generate servers and clients in various programming languages, testing tools, and many other use cases.\n\nFor examples of OpenAPI usage and additional documentation, please visit [[?OpenAPI-Learn]].\n\nFor extension registries and other specifications published by the OpenAPI Initiative, as well as the authoritative rendering of this specification, please visit [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org/).\n\n## Definitions\n\n### OpenAPI Description\n\nAn OpenAPI Description (OAD) formally describes the surface of an API and its semantics. It is composed of an [entry document](#openapi-description-structure), which must be an OpenAPI Document, and any/all of its referenced documents. An OAD uses and conforms to the OpenAPI Specification, and MUST contain at least one [paths](#paths-object) field, [components](#oas-components) field, or [webhooks](#oas-webhooks) field.\n\n### OpenAPI Document\n\nAn OpenAPI Document is a single JSON or YAML document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification. An OpenAPI Document compatible with OAS 3.\\*.\\* contains a required [`openapi`](#oas-version) field which designates the version of the OAS that it uses.\n\n### Schema\n\nA \"schema\" is a formal description of syntax and structure.\nThis document serves as the [schema](#schema) for the OpenAPI Specification format; a non-authoritative JSON Schema based on this document is also provided on [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org) for informational purposes.\nThis specification also _uses_ schemas in the form of the [Schema Object](#schema-object).\n\n### Object\n\nWhen capitalized, the word \"Object\" refers to any of the Objects that are named by section headings in this document.\n\n### Path Templating\n\nPath templating refers to the usage of template expressions, delimited by curly braces (`{}`), to mark a section of a URL path as replaceable using path parameters.\n\nEach template expression in the path MUST correspond to a path parameter that is included in the [Path Item](#path-item-object) itself and/or in each of the Path Item's [Operations](#operation-object). An exception is if the path item is empty, for example due to ACL constraints, matching path parameters are not required.\n\nThe value for these path parameters MUST NOT contain any unescaped \"generic syntax\" characters described by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3): forward slashes (`/`), question marks (`?`), or hashes (`#`).\nSee [URL Percent-Encoding](#url-percent-encoding) for additional guidance on escaping characters.\n\n### Media Types\n\nMedia type definitions are spread across several resources.\nThe media type definitions SHOULD be in compliance with [RFC6838](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838).\n\nSome examples of possible media type definitions:\n\n```text\n text/plain; charset=utf-8\n application/json\n application/vnd.github+json\n application/vnd.github.v3+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.raw+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.text+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.html+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.full+json\n application/vnd.github.v3.diff\n application/vnd.github.v3.patch\n```\n\n### HTTP Status Codes\n\nThe HTTP Status Codes are used to indicate the status of the executed operation.\nStatus codes SHOULD be selected from the available status codes registered in the [IANA Status Code Registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xhtml).\n\n### Case Sensitivity\n\nAs most field names and values in the OpenAPI Specification are case-sensitive, this document endeavors to call out any case-insensitive names and values.\nHowever, the case sensitivity of field names and values that map directly to HTTP concepts follow the case sensitivity rules of HTTP, even if this document does not make a note of every concept.\n\n### Undefined and Implementation-Defined Behavior\n\nThis specification deems certain situations to have either _undefined_ or _implementation-defined_ behavior.\n\nBehavior described as _undefined_ is likely, at least in some circumstances, to result in outcomes that contradict the specification.\nThis description is used when detecting the contradiction is impossible or impractical.\nImplementations MAY support undefined scenarios for historical reasons, including ambiguous text in prior versions of the specification.\nThis support might produce correct outcomes in many cases, but relying on it is NOT RECOMMENDED as there is no guarantee that it will work across all tools or with future specification versions, even if those versions are otherwise strictly compatible with this one.\n\nBehavior described as _implementation-defined_ allows implementations to choose which of several different-but-compliant approaches to a requirement to implement.\nThis documents ambiguous requirements that API description authors are RECOMMENDED to avoid in order to maximize interoperability.\nUnlike undefined behavior, it is safe to rely on implementation-defined behavior if _and only if_ it can be guaranteed that all relevant tools support the same behavior.\n\n## Specification\n\n### Versions\n\nThe OpenAPI Specification is versioned using a `major`.`minor`.`patch` versioning scheme. The `major`.`minor` portion of the version string (for example `3.1`) SHALL designate the OAS feature set. _`.patch`_ versions address errors in, or provide clarifications to, this document, not the feature set. Tooling which supports OAS 3.1 SHOULD be compatible with all OAS 3.1.\\* versions. The patch version SHOULD NOT be considered by tooling, making no distinction between `3.1.0` and `3.1.1` for example.\n\nOccasionally, non-backwards compatible changes may be made in `minor` versions of the OAS where impact is believed to be low relative to the benefit provided.\n\n### Format\n\nAn OpenAPI Document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification is itself a JSON object, which may be represented either in JSON or YAML format.\n\nFor example, if a field has an array value, the JSON array representation will be used:\n\n```json\n{\n \"field\": [1, 2, 3]\n}\n```\n\nAll field names in the specification are **case sensitive**.\nThis includes all fields that are used as keys in a map, except where explicitly noted that keys are **case insensitive**.\n\nThe [schema](#schema) exposes two types of fields: _fixed fields_, which have a declared name, and _patterned fields_, which have a declared pattern for the field name.\n\nPatterned fields MUST have unique names within the containing object.\n\nIn order to preserve the ability to round-trip between YAML and JSON formats, YAML version [1.2](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html) is RECOMMENDED along with some additional constraints:\n\n* Tags MUST be limited to those allowed by [YAML's JSON schema ruleset](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2803231), which defines a subset of the YAML syntax and is unrelated to [[JSON-Schema-2020-12|JSON Schema]].\n* Keys used in YAML maps MUST be limited to a scalar string, as defined by the [YAML Failsafe schema ruleset](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2802346).\n\n**Note:** While APIs may be described by OpenAPI Descriptions in either YAML or JSON format, the API request and response bodies and other content are not required to be JSON or YAML.\n\n### OpenAPI Description Structure\n\nAn OpenAPI Description (OAD) MAY be made up of a single JSON or YAML document or be divided into multiple, connected parts at the discretion of the author. In the latter case, [Reference Object](#reference-object), [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) and [Schema Object](#schema-object) `$ref` fields, as well as the [Link Object](#link-object) `operationRef` field, and the URI form of the [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) `mapping` field, are used to identify the referenced elements.\n\nIn a multi-document OAD, the document containing the OpenAPI Object where parsing begins is known as that OAD's **entry document**.\n\nIt is RECOMMENDED that the entry document of an OAD be named: `openapi.json` or `openapi.yaml`.\n\n#### Parsing Documents\n\nIn order to properly handle [Schema Objects](#schema-object), OAS 3.1 inherits the parsing requirements of [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-9), with appropriate modifications regarding base URIs as specified in [Relative References In URIs](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris).\n\nThis includes a requirement to parse complete documents before deeming a Schema Object reference to be unresolvable, in order to detect keywords that might provide the reference target or impact the determination of the appropriate base URI.\n\nImplementations MAY support complete-document parsing in any of the following ways:\n\n* Detecting OpenAPI or JSON Schema documents using media types\n* Detecting OpenAPI documents through the root `openapi` field\n* Detecting JSON Schema documents through detecting keywords or otherwise successfully parsing the document in accordance with the JSON Schema specification\n* Detecting a document containing a referenceable Object at its root based on the expected type of the reference\n* Allowing users to configure the type of documents that might be loaded due to a reference to a non-root Object\n\nImplementations that parse referenced fragments of OpenAPI content without regard for the content of the rest of the containing document will miss keywords that change the meaning and behavior of the reference target.\nIn particular, failing to take into account keywords that change the base URI introduces security risks by causing references to resolve to unintended URIs, with unpredictable results.\nWhile some implementations support this sort of parsing due to the requirements of past versions of this specification, in version 3.1, the result of parsing fragments in isolation is _undefined_ and likely to contradict the requirements of this specification.\n\nWhile it is possible to structure certain OpenAPI Descriptions to ensure that they will behave correctly when references are parsed as isolated fragments, depending on this is NOT RECOMMENDED.\nThis specification does not explicitly enumerate the conditions under which such behavior is safe and provides no guarantee for continued safety in any future versions of the OAS.\n\nA special case of parsing fragments of OAS content would be if such fragments are embedded in another format, referred to as an _embedding format_ with respect to the OAS.\nNote that the OAS itself is an embedding format with respect to JSON Schema, which is embedded as Schema Objects.\nIt is the responsibility of an embedding format to define how to parse embedded content, and OAS implementations that do not document support for an embedding format cannot be expected to parse embedded OAS content correctly.\n\n#### Structural Interoperability\n\nJSON or YAML objects within an OAD are interpreted as specific Objects (such as [Operation Objects](#operation-object), [Response Objects](#response-object), [Reference Objects](#reference-object), etc.) based on their context. Depending on how references are arranged, a given JSON or YAML object can be interpreted in multiple different contexts:\n\n* As the root object of the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure), which is always interpreted as an OpenAPI Object\n* As the Object type implied by its parent Object within the document\n* As a reference target, with the Object type matching the reference source's context\n\nIf the same JSON/YAML object is parsed multiple times and the respective contexts require it to be parsed as _different_ Object types, the resulting behavior is _implementation defined_, and MAY be treated as an error if detected. An example would be referencing an empty Schema Object under `#/components/schemas` where a Path Item Object is expected, as an empty object is valid for both types. For maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED that OpenAPI Description authors avoid such scenarios.\n\n#### Resolving Implicit Connections\n\nSeveral features of this specification require resolution of non-URI-based connections to some other part of the OpenAPI Description (OAD).\n\nThese connections are unambiguously resolved in single-document OADs, but the resolution process in multi-document OADs is _implementation-defined_, within the constraints described in this section.\nIn some cases, an unambiguous URI-based alternative is available, and OAD authors are RECOMMENDED to always use the alternative:\n\n| Source | Target | Alternative |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) `{name}` | [Security Scheme Object](#security-scheme-object) name under the [Components Object](#components-object) | _n/a_ |\n| [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) `mapping` _(implicit, or explicit name syntax)_ | [Schema Object](#schema-object) name under the Components Object | `mapping` _(explicit URI syntax)_ |\n| [Operation Object](#operation-object) `tags` | [Tag Object](#tag-object) `name` (in the [OpenAPI Object](#openapi-object)'s `tags` array) | _n/a_ |\n| [Link Object](#link-object) `operationId` | [Operation Object](#operation-object) `operationId` | `operationRef` |\n\nA fifth implicit connection involves appending the templated URL paths of the [Paths Object](#paths-object) to the appropriate [Server Object](#server-object)'s `url` field.\nThis is unambiguous because only the entry document's Paths Object contributes URLs to the described API.\n\nIt is RECOMMENDED to consider all Operation Objects from all parsed documents when resolving any Link Object `operationId`.\nThis requires parsing all referenced documents prior to determining an `operationId` to be unresolvable.\n\nThe implicit connections in the Security Requirement Object and Discriminator Object rely on the _component name_, which is the name of the property holding the component in the appropriately typed sub-object of the Components Object.\nFor example, the component name of the Schema Object at `#/components/schemas/Foo` is `Foo`.\nThe implicit connection of `tags` in the Operation Object uses the `name` field of Tag Objects, which (like the Components Object) are found under the root OpenAPI Object.\nThis means resolving component names and tag names both depend on starting from the correct OpenAPI Object.\n\nFor resolving component and tag name connections from a referenced (non-entry) document, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve from the entry document, rather than the current document.\nThis allows Security Scheme Objects and Tag Objects to be defined next to the API's deployment information (the top-level array of Server Objects), and treated as an interface for referenced documents to access.\n\nThe interface approach can also work for Discriminator Objects and Schema Objects, but it is also possible to keep the Discriminator Object's behavior within a single document using the relative URI-reference syntax of `mapping`.\n\nThere are no URI-based alternatives for the Security Requirement Object or for the Operation Object's `tags` field.\nThese limitations are expected to be addressed in a future release.\n\nSee [Appendix F: Resolving Security Requirements in a Referenced Document](#appendix-f-resolving-security-requirements-in-a-referenced-document) for an example of the possible resolutions, including which one is recommended by this section.\nThe behavior for Discriminator Object non-URI mappings and for the Operation Object's `tags` field operate on the same principles.\n\nNote that no aspect of implicit connection resolution changes how [URIs are resolved](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris), or restricts their possible targets.\n\n### Data Types\n\nData types in the OAS are based on the types defined by the [JSON Schema Validation Specification Draft 2020-12](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-6.1.1):\n\"null\", \"boolean\", \"object\", \"array\", \"number\", \"string\", or \"integer\".\nModels are defined using the [Schema Object](#schema-object), which is a superset of the JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12.\n\nJSON Schema keywords and `format` values operate on JSON \"instances\" which may be one of the six JSON data types, \"null\", \"boolean\", \"object\", \"array\", \"number\", or \"string\", with certain keywords and formats only applying to a specific type. For example, the `pattern` keyword and the `date-time` format only apply to strings, and treat any instance of the other five types as _automatically valid._ This means JSON Schema keywords and formats do **NOT** implicitly require the expected type. Use the `type` keyword to explicitly constrain the type.\n\nNote that the `type` keyword allows `\"integer\"` as a value for convenience, but keyword and format applicability does not recognize integers as being of a distinct JSON type from other numbers because [[RFC7159|JSON]] itself does not make that distinction. Since there is no distinct JSON integer type, JSON Schema defines integers mathematically. This means that both `1` and `1.0` are [equivalent](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-4.2.2), and are both considered to be integers.\n\n#### Data Type Format\n\nAs defined by the [JSON Schema Validation specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-7.3), data types can have an optional modifier keyword: `format`. As described in that specification, `format` is treated as a non-validating annotation by default; the ability to validate `format` varies across implementations.\n\nThe OpenAPI Initiative also hosts a [Format Registry](https://spec.openapis.org/registry/format/) for formats defined by OAS users and other specifications. Support for any registered format is strictly OPTIONAL, and support for one registered format does not imply support for any others.\n\nTypes that are not accompanied by a `format` keyword follow the type definition in the JSON Schema. Tools that do not recognize a specific `format` MAY default back to the `type` alone, as if the `format` is not specified.\nFor the purpose of [JSON Schema validation](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-7.1), each format should specify the set of JSON data types for which it applies. In this registry, these types are shown in the \"JSON Data Type\" column.\n\nThe formats defined by the OAS are:\n\n| `format` | JSON Data Type | Comments |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| `int32` | number | signed 32 bits |\n| `int64` | number | signed 64 bits (a.k.a long) |\n| `float` | number | |\n| `double` | number | |\n| `password` | string | A hint to obscure the value. |\n\nAs noted under [Data Type](#data-types), both `type: number` and `type: integer` are considered to be numbers in the data model.\n\n#### Working with Binary Data\n\nThe OAS can describe either _raw_ or _encoded_ binary data.\n\n* **raw binary** is used where unencoded binary data is allowed, such as when sending a binary payload as the entire HTTP message body, or as part of a `multipart/*` payload that allows binary parts\n* **encoded binary** is used where binary data is embedded in a text-only format such as `application/json` or `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` (either as a message body or in the URL query string).\n\nIn the following table showing how to use Schema Object keywords for binary data, we use `image/png` as an example binary media type. Any binary media type, including `application/octet-stream`, is sufficient to indicate binary content.\n\n| Keyword | Raw | Encoded | Comments |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| `type` | _omit_ | `string` | raw binary is [outside of `type`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-4.2.3) |\n| `contentMediaType` | `image/png` | `image/png` | can sometimes be omitted if redundant (see below) |\n| `contentEncoding` | _omit_ | `base64` or `base64url` | other encodings are [allowed](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-00#section-8.3) |\n\nNote that the encoding indicated by `contentEncoding`, which inflates the size of data in order to represent it as 7-bit ASCII text, is unrelated to HTTP's `Content-Encoding` header, which indicates whether and how a message body has been compressed and is applied after all content serialization described in this section has occurred. Since HTTP allows unencoded binary message bodies, there is no standardized HTTP header for indicating base64 or similar encoding of an entire message body.\n\nUsing a `contentEncoding` of `base64url` ensures that URL encoding (as required in the query string and in message bodies of type `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`) does not need to further encode any part of the already-encoded binary data.\n\nThe `contentMediaType` keyword is redundant if the media type is already set:\n\n* as the key for a [MediaType Object](#media-type-object)\n* in the `contentType` field of an [Encoding Object](#encoding-object)\n\nIf the [Schema Object](#schema-object) will be processed by a non-OAS-aware JSON Schema implementation, it may be useful to include `contentMediaType` even if it is redundant. However, if `contentMediaType` contradicts a relevant Media Type Object or Encoding Object, then `contentMediaType` SHALL be ignored.\n\nThe `maxLength` keyword MAY be used to set an expected upper bound on the length of a streaming payload. The keyword can be applied to either string data, including encoded binary data, or to unencoded binary data. For unencoded binary, the length is the number of octets.\n\n##### Migrating binary descriptions from OAS 3.0\n\nThe following table shows how to migrate from OAS 3.0 binary data descriptions, continuing to use `image/png` as the example binary media type:\n\n| OAS < 3.1 | OAS 3.1 | Comments |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| type: stringformat: binary | contentMediaType: image/png | if redundant, can be omitted, often resulting in an empty [Schema Object](#schema-object) |\n| type: stringformat: byte | type: stringcontentMediaType: image/pngcontentEncoding: base64 | note that `base64url` can be used to avoid re-encoding the base64 string to be URL-safe |\n\n### Rich Text Formatting\n\nThroughout the specification `description` fields are noted as supporting CommonMark markdown formatting.\nWhere OpenAPI tooling renders rich text it MUST support, at a minimum, markdown syntax as described by [CommonMark 0.27](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/). Tooling MAY choose to ignore some CommonMark or extension features to address security concerns.\n\nWhile the framing of CommonMark 0.27 as a minimum requirement means that tooling MAY choose to implement extensions on top of it, note that any such extensions are by definition implementation-defined and will not be interoperable.\nOpenAPI Description authors SHOULD consider how text using such extensions will be rendered by tools that offer only the minimum support.\n\n### Relative References in API Description URIs\n\nURIs used as references within an OpenAPI Description, or to external documentation or other supplementary information such as a license, are resolved as _identifiers_, and described by this specification as **_URIs_**.\nAs noted under [Parsing Documents](#parsing-documents), this specification inherits JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12's requirements for [loading documents](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-9) and associating them with their expected URIs, which might not match their current location.\nThis feature is used both for working in development or test environments without having to change the URIs, and for working within restrictive network configurations or security policies.\n\nNote that some URI fields are named `url` for historical reasons, but the descriptive text for those fields uses the correct \"URI\" terminology.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URIs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\n\nRelative references in [Schema Objects](#schema-object), including any that appear as `$id` values, use the nearest parent `$id` as a Base URI, as described by [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhutton-json-schema-00#section-8.2).\n\nRelative URI references in other Objects, and in Schema Objects where no parent schema contains an `$id`, MUST be resolved using the referring document's base URI, which is determined in accordance with [[RFC3986]] [Section 5.1.2 – 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2).\nIn practice, this is usually the retrieval URI of the document, which MAY be determined based on either its current actual location or a user-supplied expected location.\n\nIf a URI contains a fragment identifier, then the fragment should be resolved per the fragment resolution mechanism of the referenced document. If the representation of the referenced document is JSON or YAML, then the fragment identifier SHOULD be interpreted as a JSON-Pointer as per [RFC6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).\n\nRelative references in CommonMark hyperlinks are resolved in their rendered context, which might differ from the context of the API description.\n\n### Relative References in API URLs\n\nAPI endpoints are by definition accessed as locations, and are described by this specification as **_URLs_**.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URLs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\nUnless specified otherwise, relative references are resolved using the URLs defined in the [Server Object](#server-object) as a Base URL. Note that these themselves MAY be relative to the referring document.\n\n### Schema\n\nThis section describes the structure of the OpenAPI Description format.\nThis text is the only normative description of the format.\nA JSON Schema is hosted on [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org) for informational purposes.\nIf the JSON Schema differs from this section, then this section MUST be considered authoritative.\n\nIn the following description, if a field is not explicitly **REQUIRED** or described with a MUST or SHALL, it can be considered OPTIONAL.\n\n#### OpenAPI Object\n\nThis is the root object of the [OpenAPI Description](#openapi-description).\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| openapi | `string` | **REQUIRED**. This string MUST be the [version number](#versions) of the OpenAPI Specification that the OpenAPI Document uses. The `openapi` field SHOULD be used by tooling to interpret the OpenAPI Document. This is _not_ related to the [`info.version`](#info-version) string, which is the version of the OpenAPI Document. |\n| info | [Info Object](#info-object) | **REQUIRED**. Provides metadata about the API. The metadata MAY be used by tooling as required. |\n| jsonSchemaDialect | `string` | The default value for the `$schema` keyword within [Schema Objects](#schema-object) contained within this OAS document. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| servers | [[Server Object](#server-object)] | An array of Server Objects, which provide connectivity information to a target server. If the `servers` field is not provided, or is an empty array, the default value would be a [Server Object](#server-object) with a [url](#server-url) value of `/`. |\n| paths | [Paths Object](#paths-object) | The available paths and operations for the API. |\n| webhooks | Map[`string`, [Path Item Object](#path-item-object)] | The incoming webhooks that MAY be received as part of this API and that the API consumer MAY choose to implement. Closely related to the `callbacks` feature, this section describes requests initiated other than by an API call, for example by an out of band registration. The key name is a unique string to refer to each webhook, while the (optionally referenced) Path Item Object describes a request that may be initiated by the API provider and the expected responses. An [example](https://learn.openapis.org/examples/v3.1/webhook-example.html) is available. |\n| components | [Components Object](#components-object) | An element to hold various Objects for the OpenAPI Description. |\n| security | [[Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)] | A declaration of which security mechanisms can be used across the API. The list of values includes alternative Security Requirement Objects that can be used. Only one of the Security Requirement Objects need to be satisfied to authorize a request. Individual operations can override this definition. The list can be incomplete, up to being empty or absent. To make security explicitly optional, an empty security requirement (`{}`) can be included in the array. |\n| tags | [[Tag Object](#tag-object)] | A list of tags used by the OpenAPI Description with additional metadata. The order of the tags can be used to reflect on their order by the parsing tools. Not all tags that are used by the [Operation Object](#operation-object) must be declared. The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique. |\n| externalDocs | [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) | Additional external documentation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Info Object\n\nThe object provides metadata about the API.\nThe metadata MAY be used by the clients if needed, and MAY be presented in editing or documentation generation tools for convenience.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| title | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The title of the API. |\n| summary | `string` | A short summary of the API. |\n| description | `string` | A description of the API. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| termsOfService | `string` | A URI for the Terms of Service for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| contact | [Contact Object](#contact-object) | The contact information for the exposed API. |\n| license | [License Object](#license-object) | The license information for the exposed API. |\n| version | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The version of the OpenAPI Document (which is distinct from the [OpenAPI Specification version](#oas-version) or the version of the API being described or the version of the OpenAPI Description). |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Info Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"title\": \"Example Pet Store App\",\n \"summary\": \"A pet store manager.\",\n \"description\": \"This is an example server for a pet store.\",\n \"termsOfService\": \"https://example.com/terms/\",\n \"contact\": {\n \"name\": \"API Support\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.example.com/support\",\n \"email\": \"support@example.com\"\n },\n \"license\": {\n \"name\": \"Apache 2.0\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html\"\n },\n \"version\": \"1.0.1\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\ntitle: Example Pet Store App\nsummary: A pet store manager.\ndescription: This is an example server for a pet store.\ntermsOfService: https://example.com/terms/\ncontact:\n name: API Support\n url: https://www.example.com/support\n email: support@example.com\nlicense:\n name: Apache 2.0\n url: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html\nversion: 1.0.1\n```\n\n#### Contact Object\n\nContact information for the exposed API.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | The identifying name of the contact person/organization. |\n| url | `string` | The URI for the contact information. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| email | `string` | The email address of the contact person/organization. This MUST be in the form of an email address. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Contact Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"name\": \"API Support\",\n \"url\": \"https://www.example.com/support\",\n \"email\": \"support@example.com\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nname: API Support\nurl: https://www.example.com/support\nemail: support@example.com\n```\n\n#### License Object\n\nLicense information for the exposed API.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | **REQUIRED**.

The `identifier` field is mutually exclusive of the `url` field. |\n| url | `string` | A URI for the license used for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. The `url` field is mutually exclusive of the `identifier` field. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### License Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"name\": \"Apache 2.0\",\n \"identifier\": \"Apache-2.0\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nname: Apache 2.0\nidentifier: Apache-2.0\n```\n\n#### Server Object\n\nAn object representing a Server.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| url | `string` | **REQUIRED**. A URL to the target host. This URL supports Server Variables and MAY be relative, to indicate that the host location is relative to the location where the document containing the Server Object is being served. Query and fragment MUST NOT be part of this URL. Variable substitutions will be made when a variable is named in `{`braces`}`. |\n| description | `string` | An optional string describing the host designated by the URL. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| variables | Map[`string`, [Server Variable Object](#server-variable-object)] | A map between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Server Object Example\n\nA single server would be described as:\n\n```json\n{\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nurl: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\ndescription: Development server\n```\n\nThe following shows how multiple servers can be described, for example, at the OpenAPI Object's [`servers`](#oas-servers):\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Development server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Staging server\"\n },\n {\n \"url\": \"https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\",\n \"description\": \"Production server\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n - url: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Development server\n - url: https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Staging server\n - url: https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Production server\n```\n\nThe following shows how variables can be used for a server configuration:\n\n```json\n{\n \"servers\": [\n {\n \"url\": \"https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\",\n \"description\": \"The production API server\",\n \"variables\": {\n \"username\": {\n \"default\": \"demo\",\n \"description\": \"A user-specific subdomain. Use `demo` for a free sandbox environment.\"\n },\n \"port\": {\n \"enum\": [\"8443\", \"443\"],\n \"default\": \"8443\"\n },\n \"basePath\": {\n \"default\": \"v2\"\n }\n }\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n - url: https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\n description: The production API server\n variables:\n username:\n # note! no enum here means it is an open value\n default: demo\n description: A user-specific subdomain. Use `demo` for a free sandbox environment.\n port:\n enum:\n - '8443'\n - '443'\n default: '8443'\n basePath:\n # open meaning there is the opportunity to use special base paths as assigned by the provider, default is \"v2\"\n default: v2\n```\n\n#### Server Variable Object\n\nAn object representing a Server Variable for server URL template substitution.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| enum | [`string`] | An enumeration of string values to be used if the substitution options are from a limited set. The array MUST NOT be empty. |\n| default | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The default value to use for substitution, which SHALL be sent if an alternate value is _not_ supplied. If the [`enum`](#server-variable-enum) is defined, the value MUST exist in the enum's values. Note that this behavior is different from the [Schema Object](#schema-object)'s `default` keyword, which documents the receiver's behavior rather than inserting the value into the data. |\n| description | `string` | An optional description for the server variable. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Components Object\n\nHolds a set of reusable objects for different aspects of the OAS.\nAll objects defined within the Components Object will have no effect on the API unless they are explicitly referenced from outside the Components Object.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :---- | ---- |\n| schemas | Map[`string`, [Schema Object](#schema-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Schema Objects](#schema-object). |\n| responses | Map[`string`, [Response Object](#response-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable

and their operations.\nThe path is appended to the URL from the [Server Object](#server-object) in order to construct the full URL. The Paths Object MAY be empty, due to [Access Control List (ACL) constraints](#security-filtering).\n\n##### Patterned Fields\n\n| Field Pattern | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| /{path} | [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) | A relative path to an individual endpoint. The field name MUST begin with a forward slash (`/`). The path is **appended** (no relative URL resolution) to the expanded URL from the [Server Object](#server-object)'s `url` field in order to construct the full URL. [Path templating](#path-templating) is allowed. When matching URLs, concrete (non-templated) paths would be matched before their templated counterparts. Templated paths with the same hierarchy but different templated names MUST NOT exist as they are identical. In case of ambiguous matching, it's up to the tooling to decide which one to use. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n##### Path Templating Matching\n\nAssuming the following paths, the concrete definition, `/pets/mine`, will be matched first if used:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/mine\n```\n\nThe following paths are considered identical and invalid:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/{name}\n```\n\nThe following may lead to ambiguous resolution:\n\n```text\n /{entity}/me\n /books/{id}\n```\n\n##### Paths Object Example\n\n```json\n{\n \"/pets\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"description\": \"Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\",\n \"responses\": {\n \"200\": {\n \"description\": \"A list of pets.\",\n \"content\": {\n \"application/json\": {\n \"schema\": {\n \"type\": \"array\",\n \"items\": {\n \"$ref\": \"#/components/schemas/pet\"\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```yaml\n/pets:\n get:\n description: Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\n responses:\n '200':\n description: A list of pets.\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/pet'\n```\n\n#### Path Item Object\n\nDescribes the operations available on a single path.\nA Path Item MAY be empty, due to [ACL constraints](#security-filtering).\nThe path itself is still exposed to the documentation viewer but they will not know which operations and parameters are available.\n\n##### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| $ref | `string` | Allows for a referenced definition of this path item. The value MUST be in the form of a URI, and the referenced structure MUST be in the form of a [Path Item Object](#path-item-object). In case a Path Item Object field appears both in the defined object and the referenced object, the behavior is undefined. See the rules for resolving [Relative References](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris). form‑urlencoded |\n| [RFC1866](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1866#section-8.2.1) | 11/1995 | content-based serialization | [[RFC1738]] | obsoleted by [[HTML401]] [Section 17.13.4.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1), [[URL]] [Section 5](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlencoded-serializing) |\n\nStyle-based serialization with percent-encoding is used in the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) when `schema` is present, and in the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) when at least one of `style`, `explode`, or `allowReserved` is present.\nSee [Appendix C](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for more details of RFC6570's two different approaches to percent-encoding, including an example involving `+`.\n\nContent-based serialization is defined by the [Media Type Object](#media-type-object), and used with the [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) and [Header Object](#header-object) when the `content` field is present, and with the [Encoding Object](#encoding-object) based on the `contentType` field when the fields `style`, `explode`, and `allowReserved` are absent.\nEach part is encoded based on the media type (e.g. `text/plain` or `application/json`), and must then be percent-encoded for use in a `form-urlencoded` string unless the media type already incorporates URI percent-encoding.\n\n#### Interoperability with Historical Specifications\n\nIn most cases, generating query strings in strict compliance with [[RFC3986]] is sufficient to pass validation (including JSON Schema's `format: \"uri\"` and `format: \"uri-reference\"` when `format` validation is enabled), but some `form-urlencoded` implementations still expect the slightly more restrictive [[RFC1738]] rules to be used.\n\nSince all RFC1738-compliant URIs are compliant with RFC3986, applications needing to ensure historical interoperability SHOULD use RFC1738's rules.\n\n#### Interoperability with Web Browser Environments\n\nWHATWG is a [web browser-oriented](https://whatwg.org/faq#what-is-the-whatwg-working-on) standards group that has defined a \"URL Living Standard\" for parsing and serializing URLs in a browser context, including parsing and serializing `form-urlencoded` data.\nWHATWG's percent-encoding rules for query strings are different depending on whether the query string is [being treated as `form-urlencoded`](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application-x-www-form-urlencoded-percent-encode-set) (where it requires more percent-encoding than [[RFC1738]]) or [as part of the generic syntax](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#query-percent-encode-set), where it allows characters that [[RFC3986]] forbids.\n\nImplementations needing maximum compatibility with web browsers SHOULD use WHATWG's `form-urlencoded` percent-encoding rules.\nHowever, they SHOULD NOT rely on WHATWG's less stringent generic query string rules, as the resulting URLs would fail RFC3986 validation, including JSON Schema's `format: uri` and `format: uri-reference` (when `format` validation is endabled).\n\n### Decoding URIs and `form-urlencoded` Strings\n\nThe percent-decoding algorithm does not care which characters were or were not percent-decoded, which means that URIs percent-encoded according to any specification will be decoded correctly.\n\nSimilarly, all `form-urlencoded` decoding algorithms simply add `+`-for-space handling to the percent-decoding algorithm, and will work regardless of the encoding specification used.\n\nHowever, care must be taken to use `form-urlencoded` decoding if `+` represents a space, and to use regular percent-decoding if `+` represents itself as a literal value.\n\n### Percent-Encoding and Illegal or Reserved Delimiters\n\nThe `[`, `]`, `|`, and space characters, which are used as delimiters for the `deepObject`, `pipeDelimited`, and `spaceDelimited` styles, respectively, all MUST be percent-encoded to comply with [[RFC3986]].\nThis requires users to pre-encode the character(s) in some other way in parameter names and values to distinguish them from the delimiter usage when using one of these styles.\n\nThe space character is always illegal and encoded in some way by all implementations of all versions of the relevant standards.\nWhile one could use the `form-urlencoded` convention of `+` to distinguish spaces in parameter names and values from `spaceDelimited` delimiters encoded as `%20`, the specifications define the decoding as a single pass, making it impossible to distinguish the different usages in the decoded result unless a non-standard parsing algorithm is used that separates based on one delimiter before decoding the other.\nAny such non-standard parsing approach will not be interoperable across all tools.\n\nSome environments use `[`, `]`, and possibly `|` unencoded in query strings without apparent difficulties.\nWHATWG's generic query string rules do not require percent-encoding them in non-`form-urlencoded` query strings, although it also excludes them from the set of valid URL Unicode code points.\nCode that relies on leaving these delimiters unencoded, while using regular percent-encoding for them within names and values, is not guaranteed to be interoperable across all implementations.\n\nFor maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED to either define and document an additional escape convention while percent-encoding the delimiters for these styles, or to avoid these styles entirely.\nThe exact method of additional encoding/escaping is left to the API designer, and is expected to be performed before serialization and encoding described in this specification, and reversed after this specification's encoding and serialization steps are reversed.\nThis keeps it outside of the processes governed by this specification.\n\n## Appendix F: Resolving Security Requirements in a Referenced Document\n\nThis appendix shows how to retrieve an HTTP-accessible multi-document OpenAPI Description (OAD) and resolve a [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) in the referenced (non-entry) document. See [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections) for more information.\n\nFirst, the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) is where parsing begins. It defines the `MySecurity` security scheme to be JWT-based, and it defines a Path Item as a reference to a component in another document:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"bearer\",\n \"bearerFormat\": \"JWT\"\n }\n }\n},\n\"paths\": {\n \"/foo\": {\n \"$ref\": \"other#/components/pathItems/Foo\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\npaths:\n /foo:\n $ref: 'other#/components/pathItems/Foo'\n```\n\nThis entry document references another document, `other`, without using a file extension. This gives the client the flexibility to choose an acceptable format on a resource-by-resource basis, assuming both representations are available:\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"basic\"\n }\n },\n \"pathItems\": {\n \"Foo\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"security\": [\n \"MySecurity\": []\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```HTTP\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: basic\n pathItems:\n Foo:\n get:\n security:\n - MySecurity: []\n```\n\nIn the `other` document, the referenced path item has a Security Requirement for a Security Scheme, `MySecurity`. The same Security Scheme exists in the original entry document. As outlined in [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections), `MySecurity` is resolved with an [implementation-defined behavior](#undefined-and-implementation-defined-behavior). However, documented in that section, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve component names from the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure). As with all implementation-defined behavior, it is important to check tool documentation to determine which behavior is supported.\n"

"content": "# OpenAPI Specification\n\n## Version 3.2.0\n\nThe key words \"MUST\", \"MUST NOT\", \"REQUIRED\", \"SHALL\", \"SHALL NOT\", \"SHOULD\", \"SHOULD NOT\", \"RECOMMENDED\", \"NOT RECOMMENDED\", \"MAY\", and \"OPTIONAL\" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [BCP 14](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp14) [RFC2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119) [RFC8174](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8174) when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.\n\nThis document is licensed under [The Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).\n\n## Introduction\n\nThe OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to HTTP APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection. When properly defined, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service by [parsing and serializing](#parsing-and-serializing) HTTP messages to and from a [data model](#data-types) with a minimal amount of implementation logic.\n\nAn [OpenAPI Description](#openapi-description-structure) (OAD) can then be used by documentation generation tools to display the API, code generation tools to generate servers and clients in various programming languages, testing tools, and many other use cases.\n\nFor examples of OpenAPI usage and additional documentation, please visit [[?OpenAPI-Learn]].\n\nFor extension registries and other specifications published by the OpenAPI Initiative, as well as the authoritative rendering of this specification, please visit [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org/).\n\n### Versions and Deprecation\n\nThe OpenAPI Specification is versioned using a `major`.`minor`.`patch` versioning scheme. The `major`.`minor` portion of the version string (for example `3.1`) SHALL designate the OAS feature set. _`.patch`_ versions address errors in, or provide clarifications to, this document, not the feature set. Tooling which supports OAS 3.1 SHOULD be compatible with all OAS 3.1.\\* versions. The patch version SHOULD NOT be considered by tooling, making no distinction between `3.1.0` and `3.1.1` for example.\n\nCertain fields or features may be marked **Deprecated**.\nThese fields and features remain part of the specification and can be used like any other field or feature.\nHowever, OpenAPI Description authors should use newer fields and features documented to replace the deprecated ones whenever possible.\n\nAt this time, such elements are expected to remain part of the OAS until the next major version, although a future minor version of this specification may define a policy for later removal of deprecated elements.\n\nOccasionally, non-backwards compatible changes may be made in `minor` versions of the OAS where impact is believed to be low relative to the benefit provided.\n\n### Undefined and Implementation-Defined Behavior\n\nThis specification deems certain situations to have either _undefined_ or _implementation-defined_ behavior.\n\nBehavior described as _undefined_ is likely, at least in some circumstances, to result in outcomes that contradict the specification.\nThis description is used when detecting the contradiction is impossible or impractical.\nImplementations MAY support undefined scenarios for historical reasons, including ambiguous text in prior versions of the specification.\nThis support might produce correct outcomes in many cases, but relying on it is NOT RECOMMENDED as there is no guarantee that it will work across all tools or with future specification versions, even if those versions are otherwise strictly compatible with this one.\n\nBehavior described as _implementation-defined_ allows implementations to choose which of several different-but-compliant approaches to a requirement to implement.\nThis documents ambiguous requirements that API description authors are RECOMMENDED to avoid in order to maximize interoperability.\nUnlike undefined behavior, it is safe to rely on implementation-defined behavior if _and only if_ it can be guaranteed that all relevant tools support the same behavior.\n\n## Format\n\nAn OpenAPI document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification is itself a JSON object, which may be represented either in [[RFC8259|JSON]] or [[YAML|YAML]] format.\nExamples in this specification will be shown in YAML for brevity.\n\nAll field names in the specification are **case-sensitive**.\nThis includes all fields that are used as keys in a map, except where explicitly noted that keys are **case-insensitive**.\n\nOAS [Objects](#objects-and-fields) expose two types of fields: _fixed fields_, which have a declared name, and _patterned fields_, which have a declared pattern for the field name.\n\nPatterned fields MUST have unique names within the containing object.\n\n**Note:** While APIs may be described by OpenAPI Descriptions in either YAML or JSON format, the API request and response bodies and other content are not required to be JSON or YAML.\n\n### JSON and YAML Compatibility\n\nIn order to preserve the ability to round-trip between YAML and JSON formats, YAML version [1.2](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html) is RECOMMENDED along with the additional constraints listed in [[!RFC9512]] [Section 3.4](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9512.html#name-yaml-and-json).\n\nThe recommendation in previous versions of this specification to restrict YAML to its \"JSON\" [schema ruleset](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2803231) allowed for the inclusion of certain values that (despite the name) cannot be represented in JSON.\nOAD authors SHOULD NOT rely on any such JSON-incompatible YAML values.\n\n### Case Sensitivity\n\nAs most field names and values in the OpenAPI Specification are case-sensitive, this document endeavors to call out any case-insensitive names and values.\nHowever, the case sensitivity of field names and values that map directly to HTTP concepts follow the case sensitivity rules of HTTP, even if this document does not make a note of every concept.\n\n### Rich Text Formatting\n\nThroughout the specification `description` fields are noted as supporting CommonMark markdown formatting.\nWhere OpenAPI tooling renders rich text it MUST support, at a minimum, markdown syntax as described by [CommonMark 0.27](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/). Tooling MAY choose to ignore some CommonMark or extension features to address security concerns.\n\nWhile the framing of CommonMark 0.27 as a minimum requirement means that tooling MAY choose to implement extensions on top of it, note that any such extensions are by definition implementation-defined and will not be interoperable.\nOpenAPI Description authors SHOULD consider how text using such extensions will be rendered by tools that offer only the minimum support.\n\n## Objects and Fields\n\nThis section describes the structure of the OpenAPI Description format.\nThis text is the only normative description of the format.\nA JSON Schema is hosted on [spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org) for informational purposes.\nIf the JSON Schema differs from this section, then this section MUST be considered authoritative.\n\nIn the following description, if a field is not explicitly **REQUIRED** or described with a MUST or SHALL, it can be considered OPTIONAL.\n\n### OpenAPI Object\n\nThis is the root object of the [OpenAPI Description](#openapi-description-structure).\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\nIn addition to the required fields, at least one of the `components`, `paths`, or `webhooks` fields MUST be present.\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| openapi | `string` | **REQUIRED**. This string MUST be the [version number](#versions-and-deprecation) of the OpenAPI Specification that the OpenAPI document uses. The `openapi` field SHOULD be used by tooling to interpret the OpenAPI document. This is _not_ related to the [`info.version`](#info-version) string, which describes the OpenAPI document's version. |\n| $self | `string` | This string MUST be in the form of a URI reference as defined by [[RFC3986]] [Section 4.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-4.1). The `$self` field provides the self-assigned URI of this document, which also serves as its base URI in accordance with [[RFC3986]] [Section 5.1.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-5.1.1). Implementations MUST support identifying the targets of [API description URIs](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris) using the URI defined by this field when it is present. See [Establishing the Base URI](#establishing-the-base-uri) for the base URI behavior when `$self` is absent or relative, and see [Appendix F](#appendix-f-examples-of-base-uri-determination-and-reference-resolution) for examples of using `$self` to resolve references. |\n| info | [Info Object](#info-object) | **REQUIRED**. Provides metadata about the API. The metadata MAY be used by tooling as required. |\n| jsonSchemaDialect | `string` | The default value for the `$schema` keyword within [Schema Objects](#schema-object) contained within this OAS document. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| servers | [[Server Object](#server-object)] | An array of Server Objects, which provide connectivity information to a target server. If the `servers` field is not provided, or is an empty array, the default value would be an array consisting of a single [Server Object](#server-object) with a [url](#server-url) value of `/`. |\n| paths | [Paths Object](#paths-object) | The available paths and operations for the API. |\n| webhooks | Map[`string`, [Path Item Object](#path-item-object)] | The incoming webhooks that MAY be received as part of this API and that the API consumer MAY choose to implement. Closely related to the `callbacks` feature, this section describes requests initiated other than by an API call, for example by an out of band registration. The key name is a unique string to refer to each webhook, while the (optionally referenced) Path Item Object describes a request that may be initiated by the API provider and the expected responses. An [example](https://learn.openapis.org/examples/v3.1/webhook-example.html) is available. |\n| components | [Components Object](#components-object) | An element to hold various Objects for the OpenAPI Description. |\n| security | [[Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object)] | A declaration of which security mechanisms can be used across the API. The list of values includes alternative Security Requirement Objects that can be used. Only one of the Security Requirement Objects need to be satisfied to authorize a request. Individual operations can override this definition. The list can be incomplete, up to being empty or absent. To make security explicitly optional, an empty security requirement (`{}`) can be included in the array. |\n| tags | [[Tag Object](#tag-object)] | A list of tags used by the OpenAPI Description with additional metadata. The order of the tags can be used to reflect on their order by the parsing tools. Not all tags that are used by the [Operation Object](#operation-object) must be declared. The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique. |\n| externalDocs | [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) | Additional external documentation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\nTo ensure interoperability, references MUST use the target document's `$self` URI if the `$self` field is present.\nImplementations MAY choose to support referencing by other URIs such as the retrieval URI even when `$self` is present, however this behavior is not interoperable and relying on it is NOT RECOMMENDED.\n\n#### OpenAPI Description Structure\n\nAn **OpenAPI Description** (**OAD**) formally describes the surface of an API and its semantics.\nAn OAD MAY be made up of a single document, or be distributed across multiple documents that are connected by various fields using [URI references](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris) and [implicit connections](#resolving-implicit-connections).\n\nIn order for parsing behavior to be well-defined, all documents in an OAD MUST have either an OpenAPI Object or a Schema Object at the root, and MUST be parsed as complete documents, as described in the next section.\n\nDocuments with a different Object at the root, or that mix OAD content with other content, MAY be supported, but will have implementation-defined or, potentially, undefined behavior as described in [Appendix G: Parsing and Resolution Guidance](#appendix-g-parsing-and-resolution-guidance).\nThroughout this specification, documents are assumed to have either an OpenAPI Object or Schema Object at the root unless otherwise specified.\n\nIn a multi-document OAD, the document containing the OpenAPI Object where parsing begins is known as that OAD's **entry document**.\nIt is RECOMMENDED that the entry document of an OAD be named `openapi.json` or `openapi.yaml`.\n\nAn OpenAPI Object MAY be embedded in another format, called the **embedding format**, just as JSON Schema is embedded in the OAS in the form of Schema Objects.\nIt is the responsibility of an embedding format to define how to parse embedded content, and OAS implementations that do not document support for an embedding format cannot be expected to parse embedded OAS content correctly.\n\n##### Parsing Documents\n\nEach document in an OAD MUST be fully parsed in order to locate possible reference targets.\nThis includes the parsing requirements of [JSON Schema Specification Draft 2020-12](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html#section-9), with appropriate modifications regarding base URIs as specified in [Relative References In URIs](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris).\nReference targets are defined by fields including the OpenAPI Object's [`$self`](#oas-self) field and the [Schema Object's](#schema-object) `$id`, `$anchor`, and `$dynamicAnchor` keywords.\n\nImplementations MUST NOT treat a reference as unresolvable before completely parsing all documents provided to the implementation as possible parts of the OAD.\n\nIf only the referenced part of the document is parsed when resolving a reference, the resulting behavior can be implementation-defined or undefined; see [Warnings Regarding Fragmentary Parsing](#warnings-regarding-fragmentary-parsing) in [Appendix G](#appendix-g-parsing-and-resolution-guidance) for details.\n\n##### Relative References in API Description URIs\n\nURIs used as references within an OpenAPI Description, or to external documentation or other supplementary information such as a license, are resolved as _identifiers_, and described by this specification as **_URIs_**, in contrast with [API URLs](#relative-references-in-api-urls).\nNote that some URI fields are named `url` for historical reasons, but the descriptive text for those fields uses the correct \"URI\" terminology.\n\nAs noted under [Parsing Documents](#parsing-documents), several fields can be used to associate an OpenAPI document or a Schema Object with a URI, which might not match the document's or schema's location.\nThis allows the same references to be used in different deployment environments, including local filesystems or networks restricted by security policies or connectivity limitations.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URIs MAY be relative references as defined by [[RFC3986]] [Section 4.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\n\n###### Establishing the Base URI\n\nRelative URI references are resolved using the appropriate base URI, which MUST be determined in accordance with [[RFC3986]] [Section 5.1.1 – 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.1) and, for Schema objects, [JSON Schema draft 2020-12 Section 8.2](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html#section-8.2), as illustrated by the examples in [Appendix F: Examples of Base URI Determination and Reference Resolution](#appendix-f-examples-of-base-uri-determination-and-reference-resolution).\n\nIf `$self` is a relative URI reference, it is resolved against the next possible base URI source ([[RFC3986]] [Section 5.1.2 – 5.1.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.2)) before being used for the resolution of other relative URI references.\n\nThe most common base URI source that is used in the event of a missing or relative `$self` (in the [OpenAPI Object](#openapi-object)) and (for [Schema Object](#schema-object)) `$id` is the retrieval URI.\nImplementations MAY support document retrieval, although see the [Security Considerations](#security-considerations) sections for additional guidance.\nEven if retrieval is supported, it may be impossible due to network configuration or server unavailability (including the server hosting an older version while a new version is in development), or undesirable due to performance impacts.\nTherefore, all implementations SHOULD allow users to provide documents with their intended retrieval URIs so that references can be resolved as if retrievals were performed.\n\n###### Resolving URI fragments\n\nIf a URI contains a fragment identifier, then the fragment should be resolved per the fragment resolution mechanism of the referenced document. If the representation of the referenced document is JSON or YAML, then the fragment identifier SHOULD be interpreted as a JSON Pointer as per [RFC6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).\n\n###### Relative URI References in CommonMark Fields\n\nRelative references in CommonMark hyperlinks are resolved in their rendered context, which might differ from the context of the API description.\n\n##### Resolving Implicit Connections\n\nSeveral features of this specification require resolution of non-URI-based connections to some other part of the OpenAPI Description (OAD).\n\nThese connections are unambiguously resolved in single-document OADs, but the resolution process in multi-document OADs is _implementation-defined_, within the constraints described in this section.\nIn some cases, an unambiguous URI-based alternative is available, and OAD authors are RECOMMENDED to use the alternative to maximize interoperability.\n\nFor resolving [Components Object](#components-object) and [Tag Object](#tag-object) names from a referenced (non-entry) document, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve from the entry document, rather than the current document.\nFor resolving an [Operation Object](#operation-object) based on an `operationId`, it is RECOMMENDED to consider all Operation Objects from all parsed documents.\n\nNote that no aspect of implicit connection resolution changes how [URIs are resolved](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris), or restricts their possible targets.\n\nSee [Appendix G: Parsing and Resolution Guidance](#appendix-g-parsing-and-resolution-guidance) for more details, including a list of Objects and fields using implicit connections.\n\n### Info Object\n\nThe object provides metadata about the API.\nThe metadata MAY be used by the clients if needed, and MAY be presented in editing or documentation generation tools for convenience.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| title | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The title of the API. |\n| summary | `string` | A short summary of the API. |\n| description | `string` | A description of the API. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| termsOfService | `string` | A URI for the Terms of Service for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| contact | [Contact Object](#contact-object) | The contact information for the exposed API. |\n| license | [License Object](#license-object) | The license information for the exposed API. |\n| version | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The version of the OpenAPI document (which is distinct from the [OpenAPI Specification version](#oas-version) or the version of the API being described or the version of the OpenAPI Description). |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Info Object Example\n\n```yaml\ntitle: Example Pet Store App\nsummary: A pet store manager.\ndescription: This is an example server for a pet store.\ntermsOfService: https://example.com/terms/\ncontact:\n name: API Support\n url: https://www.example.com/support\n email: support@example.com\nlicense:\n name: Apache 2.0\n url: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html\nversion: 1.0.1\n```\n\n### Contact Object\n\nContact information for the exposed API.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | The identifying name of the contact person/organization. |\n| url | `string` | The URI for the contact information. This MUST be in the form of a URI. |\n| email | `string` | The email address of the contact person/organization. This MUST be in the form of an email address. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Contact Object Example\n\n```yaml\nname: API Support\nurl: https://www.example.com/support\nemail: support@example.com\n```\n\n### License Object\n\nLicense information for the exposed API.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| name | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The license name used for the API. |\n| identifier | `string` | An [SPDX](https://spdx.org/licenses/) license expression for the API. The `identifier` field is mutually exclusive of the `url` field. |\n| url | `string` | A URI for the license used for the API. This MUST be in the form of a URI. The `url` field is mutually exclusive of the `identifier` field. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### License Object Example\n\n```yaml\nname: Apache 2.0\nidentifier: Apache-2.0\n```\n\n### Server Object\n\nAn object representing a Server.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| url | `string` | **REQUIRED**. A URL to the target host. This URL supports Server Variables and MAY be relative, to indicate that the host location is relative to the location where the document containing the Server Object is being served. Query and fragment MUST NOT be part of this URL. Variable substitutions will be made when a variable is named in `{`braces`}`. |\n| description | `string` | An optional string describing the host designated by the URL. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n| name | `string` | An optional unique string to refer to the host designated by the URL. |\n| variables | Map[`string`, [Server Variable Object](#server-variable-object)] | A map between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Relative References in API URLs\n\nAPI endpoints are by definition accessed as locations, and are described by this specification as **_URLs_**.\n\nUnless specified otherwise, all fields that are URLs MAY be relative references as defined by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2).\n\nBecause the API is a distinct entity from the OpenAPI document, RFC3986's base URI rules for the OpenAPI document do not apply.\nUnless specified otherwise, relative references are resolved using the URLs defined in the [Server Object](#server-object) as a base URL. Note that these themselves MAY be relative to the referring document.\n\n##### Examples of API Base URL Determination\n\nAssume a retrieval URI of `https://device1.example.com` for the following OpenAPI document:\n\n```yaml\nopenapi: 3.2.0\n$self: https://apidescriptions.example.com/foo\ninfo:\n title: Example API\n version: 1.0\nservers:\n- url: .\n description: The production API on this device\n- url: ./test\n description: The test API on this device\n```\n\nFor API URLs the `$self` field, which identifies the OpenAPI document, is ignored and the retrieval URI is used instead. This produces a normalized production URL of `https://device1.example.com`, and a normalized test URL of `https://device1.example.com/test`.\n\n#### Server Object Example\n\nA single server would be described as:\n\n```yaml\nurl: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\ndescription: Development server\nname: dev\n```\n\nThe following shows how multiple servers can be described, for example, at the OpenAPI Object's [`servers`](#oas-servers):\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n - url: https://development.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Development server\n name: dev\n - url: https://staging.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Staging server\n name: staging\n - url: https://api.gigantic-server.com/v1\n description: Production server\n name: prod\n```\n\nThe following shows how variables can be used for a server configuration:\n\n```yaml\nservers:\n - url: https://{username}.gigantic-server.com:{port}/{basePath}\n description: The production API server\n name: prod\n variables:\n username:\n # note! no enum here means it is an open value\n default: demo\n description: A user-specific subdomain. Use `demo` for a free sandbox environment.\n port:\n enum:\n - '8443'\n - '443'\n default: '8443'\n basePath:\n # open meaning there is the opportunity to use special base paths as assigned by the provider, default is \"v2\"\n default: v2\n```\n\n### Server Variable Object\n\nAn object representing a Server Variable for server URL template substitution.\n\nThe server URL templating is defined by the following [ABNF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234) syntax.\n\n```abnf\nserver-url-template = 1*( literals / server-variable )\nserver-variable = \"{\" server-variable-name \"}\"\nserver-variable-name = 1*( %x00-7A / %x7C / %x7E-10FFFF ) ; every Unicode character except { and }\n\nliterals = 1*( %x21 / %x23-24 / %x26-3B / %x3D / %x3F-5B\n / %x5D / %x5F / %x61-7A / %x7E / ucschar / iprivate\n / pct-encoded)\n ; any Unicode character except: CTL, SP,\n ; DQUOTE, \"%\" (aside from pct-encoded),\n ; \"<\", \">\", \"\\\", \"^\", \"`\", \"{\", \"|\", \"}\"\npct-encoded = \"%\" HEXDIG HEXDIG\nucschar = %xA0-D7FF / %xF900-FDCF / %xFDF0-FFEF\n / %x10000-1FFFD / %x20000-2FFFD / %x30000-3FFFD\n / %x40000-4FFFD / %x50000-5FFFD / %x60000-6FFFD\n / %x70000-7FFFD / %x80000-8FFFD / %x90000-9FFFD\n / %xA0000-AFFFD / %xB0000-BFFFD / %xC0000-CFFFD\n / %xD0000-DFFFD / %xE1000-EFFFD\niprivate = %xE000-F8FF / %xF0000-FFFFD / %x100000-10FFFD\n```\n\nHere, `literals`, `pct-encoded`, `ucschar` and `iprivate` definitions are taken from [RFC 6570](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6570), incorporating the corrections specified in [Errata 6937](https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6937) for `literals`.\n\nEach server variable MUST NOT appear more than once in the URL template.\n\nSee the [Paths Object](#paths-object) for guidance on constructing full request URLs.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| enum | [`string`] | An enumeration of string values to be used if the substitution options are from a limited set. The array MUST NOT be empty. |\n| default | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The default value to use for substitution, which SHALL be sent if an alternate value is _not_ supplied. If the [`enum`](#server-variable-enum) is defined, the value MUST exist in the enum's values. Note that this behavior is different from the [Schema Object](#schema-object)'s `default` keyword, which documents the receiver's behavior rather than inserting the value into the data. |\n| description | `string` | An optional description for the server variable. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n### Components Object\n\nHolds a set of reusable objects for different aspects of the OAS.\nAll objects defined within the Components Object will have no effect on the API unless they are explicitly referenced from outside the Components Object.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :---- | ---- |\n| schemas | Map[`string`, [Schema Object](#schema-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Schema Objects](#schema-object). |\n| responses | Map[`string`, [Response Object](#response-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Response Objects](#response-object). |\n| parameters | Map[`string`, [Parameter Object](#parameter-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Parameter Objects](#parameter-object). |\n| examples | Map[`string`, [Example Object](#example-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Example Objects](#example-object). |\n| requestBodies | Map[`string`, [Request Body Object](#request-body-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Request Body Objects](#request-body-object). |\n| headers | Map[`string`, [Header Object](#header-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Header Objects](#header-object). |\n| securitySchemes | Map[`string`, [Security Scheme Object](#security-scheme-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Security Scheme Objects](#security-scheme-object). |\n| links | Map[`string`, [Link Object](#link-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Link Objects](#link-object). |\n| callbacks | Map[`string`, [Callback Object](#callback-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Callback Objects](#callback-object). |\n| pathItems | Map[`string`, [Path Item Object](#path-item-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Path Item Objects](#path-item-object). |\n| mediaTypes | Map[`string`, [Media Type Object](#media-type-object) \\| [Reference Object](#reference-object)] | An object to hold reusable [Media Type Objects](#media-type-object). |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\nAll the fixed fields declared above are objects that MUST use keys that match the regular expression: `^[a-zA-Z0-9\\.\\-_]+$`.\n\nField Name Examples:\n\n```text\nUser\nUser_1\nUser_Name\nuser-name\nmy.org.User\n```\n\n#### Components Object Example\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n GeneralError:\n type: object\n properties:\n code:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n message:\n type: string\n Category:\n type: object\n properties:\n id:\n type: integer\n format: int64\n name:\n type: string\n Tag:\n type: object\n properties:\n id:\n type: integer\n format: int64\n name:\n type: string\n parameters:\n skipParam:\n name: skip\n in: query\n description: number of items to skip\n required: true\n schema:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n limitParam:\n name: limit\n in: query\n description: max records to return\n required: true\n schema:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n responses:\n NotFound:\n description: Entity not found.\n IllegalInput:\n description: Illegal input for operation.\n GeneralError:\n description: General Error\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/GeneralError'\n securitySchemes:\n api_key:\n type: apiKey\n name: api-key\n in: header\n petstore_auth:\n type: oauth2\n flows:\n implicit:\n authorizationUrl: https://example.org/api/oauth/dialog\n scopes:\n write:pets: modify pets in your account\n read:pets: read your pets\n```\n\n### Paths Object\n\nHolds the relative paths to the individual endpoints and their operations.\nThe path is appended to the URL from the [Server Object](#server-object) in order to construct the full URL. The Paths Object MAY be empty, due to [Access Control List (ACL) constraints](#security-filtering).\n\n#### Patterned Fields\n\n| Field Pattern | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| /{path} | [Path Item Object](#path-item-object) | A relative path to an individual endpoint. The field name MUST begin with a forward slash (`/`). The URL from the [Server Object](#server-object)'s `url` field, resolved and with template variables substituted, has the path **appended** (no relative URL resolution) to it in order to construct the full URL. [Path templating](#path-templating) is allowed. When matching URLs, concrete (non-templated) paths would be matched before their templated counterparts. Templated paths with the same hierarchy but different templated names MUST NOT exist as they are identical. In case of ambiguous matching, it's up to the tooling to decide which one to use. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Path Templating\n\nPath templating refers to the usage of template expressions, delimited by curly braces (`{}`), to mark a section of a URL path as replaceable using path parameters.\n\nEach template expression in the path MUST correspond to a path parameter that is included in the [Path Item](#path-item-object) itself and/or in each of the Path Item's [Operations](#operation-object). An exception is if the path item is empty, for example due to ACL constraints, matching path parameters are not required.\n\nThe value for these path parameters MUST NOT contain any unescaped \"generic syntax\" characters described by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3): forward slashes (`/`), question marks (`?`), or hashes (`#`).\nSee [URL Percent-Encoding](#url-percent-encoding) for additional guidance on escaping characters.\n\nThe path templating is defined by the following [ABNF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234) syntax\n\n```abnf\npath-template = \"/\" *( path-segment \"/\" ) [ path-segment ]\npath-segment = 1*( path-literal / template-expression )\npath-literal = 1*pchar\ntemplate-expression = \"{\" template-expression-param-name \"}\"\ntemplate-expression-param-name = 1*( %x00-7A / %x7C / %x7E-10FFFF ) ; every Unicode character except { and }\n\npchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / \":\" / \"@\"\nunreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / \"-\" / \".\" / \"_\" / \"~\"\npct-encoded = \"%\" HEXDIG HEXDIG\nsub-delims = \"!\" / \"$\" / \"&\" / \"'\" / \"(\" / \")\"\n / \"*\" / \"+\" / \",\" / \";\" / \"=\"\n```\n\nHere, `pchar`, `unreserved`, `pct-encoded` and `sub-delims` definitions are taken from [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). The `path-template` is directly derived from [RFC 3986, section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.3).\n\nEach template expression MUST NOT appear more than once in a single path template.\n\nSee also [Appendix C: Using RFC6570-Based Serialization](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for additional guidance.\n\n##### Path Templating Matching\n\nAssuming the following paths, the concrete definition, `/pets/mine`, will be matched first if used:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/mine\n```\n\nThe following paths are considered identical and invalid:\n\n```text\n /pets/{petId}\n /pets/{name}\n```\n\nThe following may lead to ambiguous resolution:\n\n```text\n /{entity}/me\n /books/{id}\n```\n\n#### Paths Object Example\n\n```yaml\n/pets:\n get:\n description: Returns all pets from the system that the user has access to\n responses:\n '200':\n description: A list of pets.\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n type: array\n items:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/pet'\n```\n\n### Path Item Object\n\nDescribes the operations available on a single path.\nA Path Item MAY be empty, due to [ACL constraints](#security-filtering).\nThe path itself is still exposed to the documentation viewer but they will not know which operations and parameters are available.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| $ref | `string` | Allows for a referenced definition of this path item. The value MUST be in the form of a URI, and the referenced structure MUST be in the form of a [Path Item Object](#path-item-object). In case a Path Item Object field appears both in the defined object and the referenced object, the behavior is undefined. See the rules for resolving [Relative References](#relative-references-in-api-description-uris). type: stringformat: binary | contentMediaType: image/png | if redundant, can be omitted, often resulting in an empty [Schema Object](#schema-object) |\n| type: stringformat: byte | type: stringcontentMediaType: image/pngcontentEncoding: base64 | note that `base64url` can be used to avoid re-encoding the base64 string to be URL-safe |\n\n#### Extended Validation with Annotations\n\nJSON Schema Draft 2020-12 supports [collecting annotations](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html#section-7.7.1), including [treating unrecognized keywords as annotations](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html#section-6.5).\nOAS implementations MAY use such annotations, including [extensions](https://spec.openapis.org/registry/extension/) not recognized as part of a declared JSON Schema vocabulary, as the basis for further validation.\nNote that JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 does not require an `x-` prefix for extensions.\n\n##### Non-Validating Constraint Keywords\n\nThe [`format` keyword (when using default format-annotation vocabulary)](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-01.html#section-7.2.1) and the [`contentMediaType`, `contentEncoding`, and `contentSchema` keywords](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-01.html#section-8.2) define constraints on the data, but are treated as annotations instead of being validated directly.\nExtended validation is one way that these constraints MAY be enforced.\n\n##### Validating `readOnly` and `writeOnly`\n\nThe `readOnly` and `writeOnly` keywords are annotations, as JSON Schema is not aware of how the data it is validating is being used.\nValidation of these keywords MAY be done by checking the annotation, the read or write direction, and (if relevant) the current value of the field.\n[JSON Schema Validation Draft 2020-12 Section 9.4](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-validation-01.html#section-9.4) defines the expectations of these keywords, including that a resource (described as the \"owning authority\") MAY either ignore a `readOnly` field or treat it as an error.\n\nFields that are both required and read-only are an example of when it is beneficial to ignore a `readOnly: true` constraint in a PUT, particularly if the value has not been changed.\nThis allows correctly requiring the field on a GET and still using the same representation and schema with PUT.\nEven when read-only fields are not required, stripping them is burdensome for clients, particularly when the JSON data is complex or deeply nested.\n\nNote that the behavior of `readOnly` in particular differs from that specified by version 3.0 of this specification.\n\n#### Data Modeling Techniques\n\n##### Composition and Inheritance (Polymorphism)\n\nThe OpenAPI Specification allows combining and extending model definitions using the `allOf` keyword of JSON Schema, in effect offering model composition.\n`allOf` takes an array of object definitions that are validated _independently_ but together compose a single object.\n\nWhile composition offers model extensibility, it does not imply a hierarchy between the models.\n\nJSON Schema also provides the `anyOf` and `oneOf` keywords, which allow defining multiple schemas where at least one or exactly one of them must be valid, respectively.\nAs is the case with `allOf`, the schemas are validated _independently_.\nThese keywords can be used to describe polymorphism, where a single field can accept multiple types of values.\n\nThe OpenAPI specification extends the JSON Schema support for polymorphism by adding the [`discriminator`](#schema-discriminator) field whose value is a [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object).\nWhen used, the Discriminator Object indicates the name of the property that hints which schema of an `anyOf` or `oneOf` is expected to validate the structure of the model.\nThe discriminating property MAY be defined as required or optional, but when defined as an optional property the Discriminator Object MUST include a `defaultMapping` field that specifies which schema of the `anyOf` or `oneOf`, or which schema that references the current schema in an `allOf`, is expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is not present.\n\nThere are two ways to define the value of a discriminating property for an inheriting instance.\n\n* Use the schema name.\n* [Override the schema name](#discriminator-mapping) by overriding the property with a new value. If a new value exists, this takes precedence over the schema name.\n\n##### Generic (Template) Data Structures\n\nImplementations SHOULD support defining generic or template data structures using JSON Schema's dynamic referencing feature:\n\n* `$dynamicAnchor` identifies a set of possible schemas (including a default placeholder schema) to which a `$dynamicRef` can resolve\n* `$dynamicRef` resolves to the first matching `$dynamicAnchor` encountered on its path from the schema entry point to the reference, as described in the JSON Schema specification\n\nAn example is included in the [Schema Object Examples](#schema-object-examples) section below, and further information can be found on the Learn OpenAPI site's [\"Dynamic References\"](https://learn.openapis.org/referencing/dynamic.html) page.\n\n##### Annotated Enumerations\n\nThe Schema Object's `enum` keyword does not allow associating descriptions or other information with individual values.\n\nImplementations MAY support recognizing a `oneOf` or `anyOf` where each subschema in the keyword's array consists of a `const` keyword and annotations such as `title` or `description` as an enumerated type with additional information. The exact behavior of this pattern beyond what is required by JSON Schema is implementation-defined.\n\n##### XML Modeling\n\nThe [xml](#schema-xml) field allows extra definitions when translating the JSON definition to XML.\nThe [XML Object](#xml-object) contains additional information about the available options.\n\n#### Specifying Schema Dialects\n\nIt is important for tooling to be able to determine which dialect or meta-schema any given resource wishes to be processed with: JSON Schema Core, JSON Schema Validation, OpenAPI Schema dialect, or some custom meta-schema.\n\nThe `$schema` keyword MAY be present in any Schema Object that is a [schema resource root](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bhutton-json-schema-01.html#section-4.3.5), and if present MUST be used to determine which dialect should be used when processing the schema. This allows use of Schema Objects which comply with other drafts of JSON Schema than the default Draft 2020-12 support. Tooling MUST support the OAS dialect schema id, and MAY support additional values of `$schema`.\n\nTo allow use of a different default `$schema` value for all Schema Objects contained within an OAS document, a `jsonSchemaDialect` value may be set within the OpenAPI Object. If this default is not set, then the OAS dialect schema id MUST be used for these Schema Objects. The value of `$schema` within a resource root Schema Object always overrides any default.\n\nFor standalone JSON Schema documents that do not set `$schema`, or for Schema Objects in OpenAPI description documents that are _not_ [complete documents](#openapi-description-structure), the dialect SHOULD be assumed to be the OAS dialect.\nHowever, for maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED that OpenAPI description authors explicitly set the dialect through `$schema` in such documents.\n\n#### Schema Object Examples\n\n##### Primitive Example\n\n```yaml\ntype: string\nformat: email\n```\n\n##### Simple Model\n\n```yaml\ntype: object\nrequired:\n - name\nproperties:\n name:\n type: string\n address:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/Address'\n age:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n minimum: 0\n```\n\n##### Model with Map/Dictionary Properties\n\nFor a simple string to string mapping:\n\n```yaml\ntype: object\nadditionalProperties:\n type: string\n```\n\nFor a string to model mapping:\n\n```yaml\ntype: object\nadditionalProperties:\n $ref: '#/components/schemas/ComplexModel'\n```\n\n##### Model with Annotated Enumeration\n\n```yaml\noneOf:\n - const: RGB\n title: Red, Green, Blue\n description: Specify colors with the red, green, and blue additive color model\n - const: CMYK\n title: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black\n description: Specify colors with the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black subtractive color model\n```\n\n##### Model with Example\n\n```yaml\ntype: object\nproperties:\n id:\n type: integer\n format: int64\n name:\n type: string\nrequired:\n - name\nexamples:\n - name: Puma\n id: 1\n```\n\n##### Models with Composition\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n ErrorModel:\n type: object\n required:\n - message\n - code\n properties:\n message:\n type: string\n code:\n type: integer\n minimum: 100\n maximum: 600\n ExtendedErrorModel:\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorModel'\n - type: object\n required:\n - rootCause\n properties:\n rootCause:\n type: string\n```\n\n##### Models with Polymorphism Support\n\nThe following example describes a `Pet` model that can represent either a cat or a dog, as distinguished by the `petType` property. Each type of pet has other properties beyond those of the base `Pet` model. An instance without a `petType` property, or with a `petType` property that does not match either `cat` or `dog`, is invalid.\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n Pet:\n type: object\n properties:\n name:\n type: string\n required:\n - name\n - petType\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n Cat:\n description: A pet cat\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n const: 'cat'\n huntingSkill:\n type: string\n description: The measured skill for hunting\n enum:\n - clueless\n - lazy\n - adventurous\n - aggressive\n required:\n - huntingSkill\n Dog:\n description: A pet dog\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n const: 'dog'\n packSize:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n description: the size of the pack the dog is from\n default: 0\n minimum: 0\n required:\n - packSize\n```\n\n##### Models with Polymorphism Support and a Discriminator Object\n\nThe following example extends the example of the previous section by adding a [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) to the `Pet` schema. Note that the Discriminator Object is only a hint to the consumer of the API and does not change the validation outcome of the schema.\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n Pet:\n type: object\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n mapping:\n cat: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n dog: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n properties:\n name:\n type: string\n required:\n - name\n - petType\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n Cat:\n description: A pet cat\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n const: 'cat'\n huntingSkill:\n type: string\n description: The measured skill for hunting\n enum:\n - clueless\n - lazy\n - adventurous\n - aggressive\n required:\n - huntingSkill\n Dog:\n description: A pet dog\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n const: 'dog'\n packSize:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n description: the size of the pack the dog is from\n default: 0\n minimum: 0\n required:\n - petType\n - packSize\n```\n\n##### Models with Polymorphism Support using `allOf` and a Discriminator Object\n\nIt is also possible to describe polymorphic models using `allOf`. The following example uses `allOf` with a [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) to describe a polymorphic `Pet` model.\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n Pet:\n type: object\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n properties:\n name:\n type: string\n petType:\n type: string\n required:\n - name\n - petType\n Cat: # \"Cat\" will be used as the discriminating value\n description: A representation of a cat\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n - type: object\n properties:\n huntingSkill:\n type: string\n description: The measured skill for hunting\n enum:\n - clueless\n - lazy\n - adventurous\n - aggressive\n required:\n - huntingSkill\n Dog: # \"Dog\" will be used as the discriminating value\n description: A representation of a dog\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n - type: object\n properties:\n packSize:\n type: integer\n format: int32\n description: the size of the pack the dog is from\n default: 0\n minimum: 0\n required:\n - packSize\n```\n\n##### Generic Data Structure Model\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n genericArrayComponent:\n $id: fully_generic_array\n type: array\n items:\n $dynamicRef: '#generic-array'\n $defs:\n allowAll:\n $dynamicAnchor: generic-array\n numberArray:\n $id: array_of_numbers\n $ref: fully_generic_array\n $defs:\n numbersOnly:\n $dynamicAnchor: generic-array\n type: number\n stringArray:\n $id: array_of_strings\n $ref: fully_generic_array\n $defs:\n stringsOnly:\n $dynamicAnchor: generic-array\n type: string\n objWithTypedArray:\n $id: obj_with_typed_array\n type: object\n required:\n - dataType\n - data\n properties:\n dataType:\n enum:\n - string\n - number\n oneOf:\n - properties:\n dataType:\n const: string\n data:\n $ref: array_of_strings\n - properties:\n dataType:\n const: number\n data:\n $ref: array_of_numbers\n```\n\n### Discriminator Object\n\nWhen request bodies or response payloads may be one of a number of different schemas, these should use the JSON Schema `anyOf` or `oneOf` keywords to describe the possible schemas (see [Composition and Inheritance](#composition-and-inheritance-polymorphism)).\n\nA polymorphic schema MAY include a Discriminator Object, which defines the name of the property that may be used as a hint for which schema of the `anyOf` or `oneOf`, or which schema that references the current schema in an `allOf`, is expected to validate the structure of the model.\nThis hint can be used to aid in serialization, deserialization, and validation.\nThe Discriminator Object does this by implicitly or explicitly associating the possible values of a named property with alternative schemas.\n\nNote that `discriminator` MUST NOT change the validation outcome of the schema.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| propertyName | `string` | **REQUIRED**. The name of the discriminating property in the payload that will hold the discriminating value. The discriminating property MAY be defined as required or optional, but when defined as optional the Discriminator Object MUST include a `defaultMapping` field that specifies which schema is expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is not present. |\n| mapping | Map[`string`, `string`] | An object to hold mappings between payload values and schema names or URI references. |\n| defaultMapping | `string` | The schema name or URI reference to a schema that is expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is not present in the payload or contains a value for which there is no explicit or implicit mapping. |\n\nThis object MAY be extended with [Specification Extensions](#specification-extensions).\n\n#### Conditions for Using the Discriminator Object\n\nThe Discriminator Object is legal only when using one of the composite keywords `oneOf`, `anyOf`, `allOf`.\n\nIn both the `oneOf` and `anyOf` use cases, where those keywords are adjacent to `discriminator`, all possible schemas MUST be listed explicitly.\n\nTo avoid redundancy, the discriminator MAY be added to a parent schema definition, and all schemas building on the parent schema via an `allOf` construct may be used as an alternate schema.\n\nThe `allOf` form of `discriminator` is _only_ useful for non-validation use cases; validation with the parent schema with this form of `discriminator` _does not_ perform a search for child schemas or use them in validation in any way.\nThis is because `discriminator` cannot change the validation outcome, and no standard JSON Schema keyword connects the parent schema to the child schemas.\n\nThe behavior of any configuration of `oneOf`, `anyOf`, `allOf` and `discriminator` that is not described above is undefined.\n\n#### Options for Mapping Values to Schemas\n\nThe value of the property named in `propertyName` is used as the name of the associated schema under the [Components Object](#components-object), _unless_ a `mapping` is present for that value.\nThe `mapping` entry maps a specific property value to either a different schema component name, or to a schema identified by a URI.\nWhen using implicit or explicit schema component names, inline `oneOf` or `anyOf` subschemas are not considered.\nThe behavior of a `mapping` value or `defaultMapping` value that is both a valid schema name and a valid relative URI reference is implementation-defined, but it is RECOMMENDED that it be treated as a schema name.\nTo ensure that an ambiguous value (e.g. `\"foo\"`) is treated as a relative URI reference by all implementations, authors MUST prefix it with the `\".\"` path segment (e.g. `\"./foo\"`).\n\nMapping keys MUST be string values, but tooling MAY convert response values to strings for comparison.\nHowever, the exact nature of such conversions are implementation-defined.\n\n#### Optional Discriminating Property\n\nWhen the discriminating property is defined as optional, the [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) MUST include a `defaultMapping` field that specifies a schema that is expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is not present in the payload or contains a value for which there is no explicit or implicit mapping. This allows the schema to still be validated correctly even if the discriminating property is missing.\n\nThe primary use case for an optional discriminating property is to allow a schema to be extended with a discriminator without breaking existing clients that do not provide the discriminating property.\n\nWhen the discriminating property is defined as optional, it is important that each subschema that defines a value for the discriminating property also define the property as required, since this is no longer enforced by the parent schema.\n\nThe `defaultMapping` schema is also expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is present but contains a value for which there is no explicit or implicit mapping. This is typically expressed in the `defaultMapping` schema by excluding any instances with mapped values of the discriminating property, e.g.\n\n```yaml\nOtherPet:\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n not:\n enum: ['cat', 'dog']\n```\n\nThis prevents the `defaultMapping` schema from validating a payload that includes the discriminating property with a mapped discriminating value, which would cause a validation to fail when polymorphism is described using the `oneOf` JSON schema keyword.\n\n#### Examples\n\nFor these examples, assume all schemas are in the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) of the OAD; for handling of `discriminator` in referenced documents see [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections).\n\nIn OAS 3.x, a response payload MAY be described to be exactly one of any number of types:\n\n```yaml\nMyResponseType:\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Lizard'\n```\n\nwhich means a valid payload has to match exactly one of the schemas described by `Cat`, `Dog`, or `Lizard`. Deserialization of a `oneOf` can be a costly operation, as it requires determining which schema matches the payload and thus should be used in deserialization. This problem also exists for `anyOf` schemas. A `discriminator` can be used as a \"hint\" to improve the efficiency of selection of the matching schema. The [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) cannot change the validation result of the `oneOf`, it can only help make the deserialization more efficient and provide better error messaging. We can specify the exact field that tells us which schema is expected to match the instance:\n\n```yaml\nMyResponseType:\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Lizard'\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n```\n\nThe expectation now is that a property with name `petType` _MUST_ be present in the response payload, and the value will correspond to the name of a schema defined in the OpenAPI Description. Thus the response payload:\n\n```json\n{\n \"id\": 12345,\n \"petType\": \"Cat\"\n}\n```\n\nwill indicate that the `Cat` schema is expected to match this payload.\n\nIn scenarios where the value of the discriminating property does not match the schema name or implicit mapping is not possible, an optional `mapping` definition can be used:\n\n```yaml\nMyResponseType:\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Lizard'\n - $ref: https://gigantic-server.com/schemas/Monster/schema.json\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n mapping:\n dog: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n monster: https://gigantic-server.com/schemas/Monster/schema.json\n```\n\nHere the discriminating value of `dog` will map to the schema `#/components/schemas/Dog`, rather than the default (implicit) value of `#/components/schemas/dog`. If the discriminating value does not match an implicit or explicit mapping, no schema can be determined and validation SHOULD fail.\n\nWhen used in conjunction with the `anyOf` construct, the use of the discriminator can avoid ambiguity for serializers/deserializers where multiple schemas may satisfy a single payload.\n\nWhen the discriminating property is defined as optional, the Discriminator Object has to include a `defaultMapping` field that specifies a schema of the `anyOf` or `oneOf` is expected to validate the structure of the model when the discriminating property is not present in the payload. This allows the schema to still be validated correctly even if the discriminator property is missing.\n\nFor example:\n\n```yaml\nMyResponseType:\n oneOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Lizard'\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/OtherPet'\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n defaultMapping: OtherPet\nOtherPet:\n type: object\n properties:\n petType:\n not:\n enum: ['Cat', 'Dog', 'Lizard']\n```\n\nIn this example, if the `petType` property is not present in the payload, or if the value of `petType` is not \"Cat\", \"Dog\", or \"Lizard\", then the payload should validate against the `OtherPet` schema.\n\nThis example shows the `allOf` usage, which avoids needing to reference all child schemas in the parent:\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n schemas:\n Pet:\n type: object\n required:\n - petType\n properties:\n petType:\n type: string\n discriminator:\n propertyName: petType\n mapping:\n dog: Dog\n Cat:\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n - type: object\n # all other properties specific to a `Cat`\n properties:\n name:\n type: string\n Dog:\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n - type: object\n # all other properties specific to a `Dog`\n properties:\n bark:\n type: string\n Lizard:\n allOf:\n - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'\n - type: object\n # all other properties specific to a `Lizard`\n properties:\n lovesRocks:\n type: boolean\n```\n\nValidated against the `Pet` schema, a payload like this:\n\n```json\n{\n \"petType\": \"Cat\",\n \"name\": \"Misty\"\n}\n```\n\nwill indicate that the `#/components/schemas/Cat` schema is expected to match. Likewise this payload:\n\n```json\n{\n \"petType\": \"dog\",\n \"bark\": \"soft\"\n}\n```\n\nwill map to `#/components/schemas/Dog` because the `dog` entry in the `mapping` element maps to `Dog` which is the schema name for `#/components/schemas/Dog`.\n\n### XML Object\n\nA metadata object that allows for more fine-tuned XML model definitions.\nWhen using a Schema Object with XML, if no XML Object is present, the behavior is determined by the XML Object's default field values.\n\n#### Fixed Fields\n\n| Field Name | Type | Description |\n| ---- | :----: | ---- |\n| nodeType | `string` | One of `element`, `attribute`, `text`, `cdata`, or `none`, as explained under [XML Node Types](#xml-node-types). The default value is `none` if `$ref`, `$dynamicRef`, or `type: \"array\"` is present in the [Schema Object](#schema-object) containing the XML Object, and `element` otherwise. |\n| name | `string` | Sets the name of the element/attribute corresponding to the schema, replacing the name that was inferred as described under [XML Node Names](#xml-node-names). This field SHALL be ignored if the `nodeType` is `text`, `cdata`, or `none`. |\n| namespace | `string` | The IRI ([[RFC3987]]) of the namespace definition. Value MUST be in the form of a non-relative IRI. |\n| prefix | `string` | The prefix to be used for the [name](#xml-name). |\n| attribute | `boolean` | Declares whether the property definition translates to an attribute instead of an element. Default value is `false`. If `nodeType` is present, this field MUST NOT be present.Awesome documentation goes here
\n \n\n--boundary-example\n```\n\nIn this example, the URI for each part, which also serves as its base URI, comes from the part's `Content-Location` header as specified by RFC2557.\nSince the Schema Object at `#/components/schemas/Foo` does not contain an `$id`, the reference in its subschema uses the OpenAPI document's base URI, which is taken from the `Content-Location` header of its part within the `multipart/related` format.\nThe resulting reference to `https://example.com/schemas/bar` matches the `Content-Location` header of the second part, which according to RFC2557 allows the reference target to be located within the multipart archive.\n\nSimilarly, the `url` field of the [External Documentation Object](#external-documentation-object) is resolved against the base URI from `Content-Location`, producing `https://example.com/api/docs.html` which matches the `Content-Location` of the third part.\n\n### Base URI From the Retrieval URI\n\nIf no base URI is provided from either of the previous sources, the next source is the retrieval URI ([RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.3)).\n\nAssume this document was retrieved from `https://example.com/api/openapis.yaml`:\n\n```yaml\nopenapi: 3.2.0\ninfo:\n title: Example API\n version: 1.0\ncomponents:\n requestBodies:\n Foo:\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n $ref: schemas/foo\n```\n\nAssume this document was retrieved from `https://example.com/api/schemas/foo`:\n\n```json\n{\n \"type\": \"object\",\n \"properties\": {\n \"bar\": {\n \"type\": \"string\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nResolving the `$ref: schemas/foo` against the retrieval URI of the OpenAPI document produces `https://example.com/api/schemas/foo`, the retrieval URI of the JSON Schema document.\n\n### Application-Specific Default Base URI\n\nWhen constructing an OpenAPI document in memory that does not have a `$self`, or an encapsulating entity, or a retrieval URI, applications can resolve internal (fragment-only) references by assuming a default base URI ([RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1.4)).\nWhile this sort of internal resolution can be performed in practice without choosing a base URI, choosing one, such as a URN with a randomly generated UUID (e.g. `urn:uuid:f26cdaad-3193-4398-a838-4ecb7326c4c5`) avoids the need to implement it as a special case.\n\n### Resolving Relative `$self` and `$id`\n\nLet's re-consider the first example in this appendix, but with relative URI references for `$self` and `$id`, and retrieval URIs that support that relative usage:\n\n\nAssume that the following is retrieved from `https://staging.example.com/api/openapi`:\n\n```yaml\nopenapi: 3.2.0\n$self: /api/openapi\ninfo:\n title: Example API\n version: 1.0\npaths:\n /foo:\n get:\n requestBody:\n $ref: \"shared/foo#/components/requestBodies/Foo\"\n```\n\nAssume the retrieval URI for the following document is `https://staging.example.com/api/shared/foo`:\n\n```yaml\nopenapi: 3.2.0\n$self: /api/shared/foo\ninfo:\n title: Shared components for all APIs\n version: 1.0\ncomponents:\n requestBodies:\n Foo:\n content:\n application/json:\n schema:\n $ref: ../schemas/foo\n schemas:\n Foo:\n $id: /api/schemas/foo\n properties:\n bar:\n $ref: bar\n Bar:\n $id: /api/schemas/bar\n type: string\n```\n\nIn this example, all of the `$self` and `$id` values are relative URI references consisting of an absolute path.\nThis allows the retrieval URI to set the host (and scheme), in this case `https://staging.example.com`, resulting in the first document's `$self` being `https://staging.example.com/openapi`, and the second document's `$self` being `https://staging.example.com/api/shared/foo`, with `$id` values of `https://staging.example.com/api/schemas/foo` and `https://staging.example.com/api/schemas/bar`.\nRelative `$self` and `$id` values of this sort allow the same set of documents to work when deployed to other hosts, e.g. `https://example.com` (production) or `https://localhost:8080` (local development).\n\n## Appendix G: Parsing and Resolution Guidance\n\nImplementations MAY support complete-document parsing in any of the following ways:\n\n* Detecting OpenAPI or JSON Schema documents using media types\n* Detecting OpenAPI documents through the root `openapi` field\n* Detecting JSON Schema documents through detecting keywords or otherwise successfully parsing the document in accordance with the JSON Schema specification\n\nAdditional mechanisms can be used to support documents with Objects other than an OpenAPI Object or a Schema Object at the root, but note that the resulting behavior is implementation-defined:\n\n* Detecting a document containing a referenceable Object at its root based on the expected type of the reference\n* Allowing users to configure the type of documents that might be loaded due to a reference to a non-root Object\n\n### Warnings Regarding Fragmentary Parsing\n\nImplementations that parse referenced fragments of OpenAPI content without regard for the content of the rest of the containing document will miss keywords that change the meaning and behavior of the reference target.\nIn particular, failing to take into account keywords that change the base URI introduces security risks by causing references to resolve to unintended URIs, with unpredictable results.\nWhile some implementations support this sort of parsing due to the requirements of past versions of this specification, in version 3.1 and later, the result of parsing fragments in isolation is _undefined_ and likely to contradict the requirements of this specification.\n\nWhile it is possible to structure certain OpenAPI Descriptions to ensure that they will behave correctly when references are parsed as isolated fragments, depending on this is NOT RECOMMENDED.\nThis specification does not explicitly enumerate the conditions under which such behavior is safe and provides no guarantee for continued safety in any future versions of the OAS.\n\n### Conflicts Between Field Types and Reference Contexts\n\nJSON or YAML objects within an OAD are interpreted as specific Objects (such as [Operation Objects](#operation-object), [Response Objects](#response-object), [Reference Objects](#reference-object), etc.) based on their context. Depending on how references are arranged, a given JSON or YAML object can be interpreted in multiple different contexts:\n\n* As the root object of the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure), which is always interpreted as an OpenAPI Object\n* As the Object type implied by its parent Object's field within the document\n* As a reference target, with the Object type matching the reference source's context\n\nIf the same JSON/YAML object is parsed multiple times and the respective contexts require it to be parsed as _different_ Object types, the resulting behavior is _implementation defined_, and MAY be treated as an error if detected. An example would be referencing an empty Schema Object under `#/components/schemas` where a Path Item Object is expected, as an empty object is valid for both types. For maximum interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED that OpenAPI Description authors avoid such scenarios.\n\n### Guidance Regarding Implicit Connections\n\nThe following Objects and Fields involve the use of implicit connections:\n\n| Source | Target | Alternative |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) `{name}` | [Security Scheme Object](#security-scheme-object) name under the [Components Object](#components-object) | _n/a_ |\n| [Discriminator Object](#discriminator-object) `mapping` _(implicit, or explicit name syntax)_ | [Schema Object](#schema-object) name under the Components Object | `mapping` _(explicit URI syntax)_ |\n| [Operation Object](#operation-object) `tags` | [Tag Object](#tag-object) `name` (in the [OpenAPI Object](#openapi-object)'s `tags` array) | _n/a_ |\n| [Link Object](#link-object) `operationId` | [Operation Object](#operation-object) `operationId` | `operationRef` |\n\nAn additional implicit connection involves appending the templated URL paths of the [Paths Object](#paths-object) to the appropriate [Server Object](#server-object)'s `url` field.\nThis connection is unambiguous because only the entry document's Paths Object contributes URLs to the described API.\n\nThe implicit connections in the Security Requirement Object and Discriminator Object rely on the _component name_, which is the name of the property holding the component in the appropriately typed sub-object of the Components Object.\nFor example, the component name of the Schema Object at `#/components/schemas/Foo` is `Foo`.\nThe implicit connection of `tags` in the Operation Object uses the `name` field of Tag Objects, which (like the Components Object) are found under the root OpenAPI Object.\nThis means resolving component names and tag names both depend on starting from the correct OpenAPI Object.\n\nFor resolving component and tag name connections from a referenced (non-entry) document, it is RECOMMENDED that tools resolve from the entry document, rather than the current document.\nResolving component and tag name connections from a referenced (non-entry) document to the entry document as recommended under [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections) allows components and Tag Objects to be defined next to the API's deployment information in the top-level array of Server Objects and treated as an interface for referenced documents to access.\n\nFor Security Requirement Objects and Discriminator Objects, it is also possible to keep the resolution within the referenced document by using the URI-reference form that these Objects offer.\n\nThere are no URI-based alternatives for the Operation Object's `tags` field.\nOAD authors are advised to use external solutions such as the OpenAPI Initiative's Overlay Specification to simulate sharing [Tag Objects](#tag-object) across multiple documents.\n\n#### Implicit Connection Resolution Examples\n\nThis section shows how to retrieve an HTTP-accessible multi-document OpenAPI Description (OAD) and resolve a [Security Requirement Object](#security-requirement-object) in the referenced (non-entry) document.\nThe behavior for Discriminator Object non-URI mappings and for the Operation Object's `tags` field operate on the same principles.\n\nFirst, the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure) is where parsing begins. It defines the `MySecurity` security scheme to be JWT-based, and it defines a Path Item as a reference to a component in another document:\n\n```http\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"bearer\",\n \"bearerFormat\": \"JWT\"\n }\n }\n},\n\"paths\": {\n \"/foo\": {\n \"$ref\": \"other#/components/pathItems/Foo\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n```http\nGET /api/description/openapi HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: bearer\n bearerFormat: JWT\npaths:\n /foo:\n $ref: 'other#/components/pathItems/Foo'\n```\n\nThis entry document references another document, `other`, without using a file extension. This gives the client the flexibility to choose an acceptable format on a resource-by-resource basis, assuming both representations are available:\n\n```http\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+json\n```\n\n```json\n\"components\": {\n \"securitySchemes\": {\n \"MySecurity\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"scheme\": \"basic\"\n }\n },\n \"pathItems\": {\n \"Foo\": {\n \"get\": {\n \"security\": [\n \"MySecurity\": []\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n```http\nGET /api/description/other HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nAccept: application/openapi+yaml\n```\n\n```yaml\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n MySecurity:\n type: http\n scheme: basic\n pathItems:\n Foo:\n get:\n security:\n - MySecurity: []\n```\n\nIn the `other` document, the referenced path item has a Security Requirement for a Security Scheme, `MySecurity`. The same Security Scheme exists in the original entry document. As outlined in [Resolving Implicit Connections](#resolving-implicit-connections), `MySecurity` is resolved with an [implementation-defined behavior](#undefined-and-implementation-defined-behavior), but the section formally recommends that tools resolve component names from the [entry document](#openapi-description-structure). As with all implementation-defined behavior, it is important to check tool documentation to determine which behavior is supported.\n" }, { "path": "vitest.config.mjs", "content": "import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'\nimport { jsonSchemaCoveragePlugin } from \"@hyperjump/json-schema-coverage/vitest\"\n\nexport default defineConfig({\n plugins: [jsonSchemaCoveragePlugin()],\n test: {\n globalSetup: [\"tests/schema/oas-schema.mjs\"],\n coverage: {\n include: [\"src/schemas/validation/**/*.yaml\"],\n thresholds: process.env.BASE !== \"dev\" ? {\n statements: 100, // JSON Schema keywords\n lines: 100,\n // functions: 100, // subschemas, for example with `properties` - to be discussed\n // branches: 56.77, // branch coverage isn't that useful\n } : {}\n },\n forceRerunTriggers: ['**/scripts/**', '**/tests/**'],\n testTimeout: 20000, // 20 seconds, sometimes needed on slower machines\n },\n})\n" } ]
