Object

Object is a data type used to save object definitions in JSON.

💡 Common object usage

The object property type can be used to store any key/value based data, for example:

• Configurations.
• Tags.
• HTTP responses.
• Dictionaries/Hash maps.

In this live demo example, we can see the Tags object property. 🎬

Validate object

Object validations support the following operators:

• properties - which keys must appear and what their type should be;
• additionalProperties - are keys not defined in properties allowed and what their type should be;
• patternProperties - which regex pattern should properties follow

tip

Object validations follow the JSON schema model, refer to the JSON schema docs to learn about all of the available validations
