Correct way to define array of enums in JSON schema
Option A is correct and satisfy your requirements.
{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["one", "two", "three"]
}
}
According to json-schema
documentation, the enumerated values of an array
must be included in the "items"
field:
{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["one", "two", "three"]
}
}
If you have an array
that can hold e.g. items of different type, then your schema should look like the one below:
{
"type": "array",
"items": [
{
"type": "string",
"enum": ["one", "two", "three"]
},
{
"type": "integer",
"enum": [1, 2, 3]
}
]
}
