defining exact response is cumbersome

[halmai]

There are some cases when the response JSON structure returned by an API endpoint is always the same. I mean, I would like to specify in the API specification that the result is

    {
        "result": "ERROR",
        "error_msg": "ERROR__NO_PERMISSION"
    }

The best way I found to describe this, is a 1-element enum for each field. It is quite verbose so it would be nice to have a value member describing exact values like this:

definitions:
    OK-response:
        type: object
        properties:
            result: 
                type: string
                value: "ERROR"
            error_msg:
                type: string
                value: "ERROR__NO_PERMISSION"

It would be even better to define constant responses with complete JSON description, similarly to this one:

definitions:
    OK-response:
        object_json: """
            {
                result: "ERROR",
                error_msg: "ERROR__NO_PERMISSION"
            }
        """

This is an issue for the spec, not swagger-editor. We just follow what the spec allows. If you'd like to try and see a change, you can file a ticket on the spec's repo.

That said, considering we're using a subset of JSON Schema, it's very unlikely that we'd deviate from that in the spec.

Thanks, I issued a feature request in order to get this way of specifying a constant value:
