#### <a name="schemaObject"></a>Schema Object

The Schema Object allows the definition of input and output data types.
These types can be objects, but also primitives and arrays.
This object is an extended subset of the [JSON Schema Specification Wright Draft 00](https://json-schema.org/).
The Schema Object allows the definition of input and output data types. These types can be objects, but also primitives and arrays. This object is a superset of the [JSON Schema Draft 2019-09](http:https://json-schema.org/) specification.

The following properties are taken directly from the JSON Schema definition and follow the same specifications:
The OpenAPI Schema Object is a JSON Schema vocabulary which extends JSON Schema Core and Validation vocabularies. As such any keyword available for those vocabularies is by definition available in OpenAPI, and will work the exact same way, including but not limited to:

What is "a JSON Schema vocabulary"? is it a fork of the "JSON Schema vocabulary"? if so, shouldn't we call it the "OpenAPI vocabulary" as it is referred down below?

Where will this vocabulary be located? Can we see it? It would be nice to link it here, especially if tooling is required to support it.

A "JSON Schema vocabulary" is a specification which defines a set of keywords which have specific semantic meaning when applying a JSON Schema to a JSON instance.
A JSON Shema meta-schema defines the known vocabularies and if support for them is required in order to process the document.
You can see this in practice by looking at the General-purpose meta-schema for draft 2019-09 at http:https://json-schema.org/specification.html

The URI used as the vocabulary identifier, as like with $id, is not necessarily network addressable, and in the case of vocabularies, the identifier URI as a resources is reserved but not defined.

If you'd like to talk about this in more detail, feel free to come by the JSON Schema slack server, or reach out to any of the core team =]

I understand the mechanics. I guess where I want to get with this is: how will this look like when implementing this (practically-speaking). How will one be able to support OpenAPI Schemas using the vocabulary mechanism if none is provided (in this repo)? Will this mean it will be up to the implementor to maintain their own OpenAPI Schema vocabulary?

@jstoiko I'm not sure why you think none will be provided. This is about updating a certain part of the specification document to conform to 2019-09. It is not a PR to finalize every aspect of every issue related to updating JSON Schema ever. There are various other issues and PRs filed. PR #2016 in particular shows a first pass at a vocabulary meta-schema.

Please don't burden this PR with more work than it is already doing. It is already doing a lot.

How will one be able to support OpenAPI Schemas using the vocabulary mechanism if none is provided (in this repo)? - @jstoiko

The "vocabulary" IS the specification document which defines the additional keywords.

An implementer will implement a given vocabulary. There are implementations which DO stuff with OAS 3.0 flavour JSON Schema already, right?

An implementer will not "maintain a vocabulary". They may maintain a library which supports the vocabulary. As @handrews that, and a meta-schema for any potential vocabulary, is way beyond the scope of this PR.

There’s no such thing as a vocabulary file so we’re good here.

Correct. #2016 shows one possible meta-schema for the vocabulary, with a vocabulary URI that I just made up. The TSC may prefer to URI to either be a pure identifier, be the URI for the Schema Object specification, or be an identifier which redirects to the specification (which is more or less what we're doing with the official JSON Schema vocabulary URIs right now, although limitations of GitHub pages mean it's done in a slightly weird way using an HTML refresh https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/vocab/applicator ).

The recommendation in the JSON Schema spec is that vocabulary URIs be pure identifiers, with the idea being that we can add a formal vocabulary file type later. But that seems to confuse people too much so redirecting to the relevant specification is probably best for now.

The following properties are taken from the JSON Schema definition but their definitions were adjusted to the OpenAPI Specification.

- type - Used to restrict the allowed types as specified in JSON Schema, but may be modified by the [`nullable`](#schemaNullable) keyword.
- exclusiveMinimum - Value can be a numeric value just like JSON Schema, or for backwards compatibility with older drafts it can accept a boolean to act as a modifier to the `minimum` keyword. The numeric value usage is recommended.
- exclusiveMaximum - Value can be a numeric value just like JSON Schema, or for backwards compatibility with older drafts it can accept a boolean to act as a modifier to the `minimum` keyword. The numeric value usage is recommended.
- description - [CommonMark syntax](http:https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.
- format - See [Data Type Formats](#dataTypeFormat) for further details. While relying on JSON Schema's defined formats, the OAS offers a few additional predefined formats.
- default - The default value represents what would be assumed by the consumer of the input as the value of the schema if one is not provided. Unlike JSON Schema, the value MUST conform to the defined type for the Schema Object defined at the same level. For example, if `type` is `string`, then `default` can be `"foo"` but cannot be `1`.

Alternatively, any time a Schema Object can be used, a [Reference Object](#referenceObject) can be used in its place. This allows referencing definitions instead of defining them inline.

Additional properties defined by the JSON Schema specification that are not mentioned here are strictly unsupported.

Other than the JSON Schema subset fields, the following fields MAY be used for further schema documentation:
In addition to the JSON Schema fields, the following OpenAPI vocabulary properties MAY be used for further schema documentation:

This suggestion aligns the nullable language with the OAS 3.0.3 language from PR #2046, with minimal wording tweaks to account for type now being able to have multiple values (type arrays).

<a name="schemaDiscriminator"></a>discriminator | [Discriminator Object](#discriminatorObject) | Adds support for polymorphism. The discriminator is an object name that is used to differentiate between other schemas which may satisfy the payload description. See [Composition and Inheritance](#schemaComposition) for more details.
<a name="schemaReadOnly"></a>readOnly | `boolean` | Relevant only for Schema `"properties"` definitions. Declares the property as "read only". This means that it MAY be sent as part of a response but SHOULD NOT be sent as part of the request. If the property is marked as `readOnly` being `true` and is in the `required` list, the `required` will take effect on the response only. A property MUST NOT be marked as both `readOnly` and `writeOnly` being `true`. Default value is `false`.
<a name="schemaWriteOnly"></a>writeOnly | `boolean` | Relevant only for Schema `"properties"` definitions. Declares the property as "write only". Therefore, it MAY be sent as part of a request but SHOULD NOT be sent as part of the response. If the property is marked as `writeOnly` being `true` and is in the `required` list, the `required` will take effect on the request only. A property MUST NOT be marked as both `readOnly` and `writeOnly` being `true`. Default value is `false`.
<a name="schemaXml"></a>xml | [XML Object](#xmlObject) | This MAY be used only on properties schemas. It has no effect on root schemas. Adds additional metadata to describe the XML representation of this property.

###### <a name="schemaComposition"></a>Composition and Inheritance (Polymorphism)

The OpenAPI Specification allows combining and extending model definitions using the `allOf` property of JSON Schema, in effect offering model composition.
`allOf` takes an array of object definitions that are validated *independently* but together compose a single object.
`allOf` takes an array of object definitions that are validated *independently* but together compose a single object.

While composition offers model extensibility, it does not imply a hierarchy between the models.
To support polymorphism, the OpenAPI Specification adds the `discriminator` field.
