oneOf and schema with same attribute names

[marutha...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a below situation update vehicle which can update a car of update a jet properties, but only one at a time so I have mentioned "oneOf" refs (car and jet) but here both car and jet have tyre_sizes so "oneOf" is getting failed. How should I address the below situation of update_vehicle? Any references and pointers?

{

"id" : "update_vehicle",

"properties" : {

"type" : "object",

"oneOf" : [

{

"$ref" : "update_car"

},

{

"$ref" : "update_jet"

}

]

}

}

{

"id" : "update_car",

"properties" : {

"type" : "object",

"steering_size" : {

"type" : "string"

},

"tyre_size" : {

"type" : "string"

}

}

}

{

"id" : "update_car",

"properties" : {

"type" : "object",

"tyre_size" : {

"type" : "string"

}

}

}

Hello,

  Typically there is something in the schema for each branch of the "oneOf" that is unique to that branch.  For instance, a field "vehicleType" which is {"enum": ["car"]} in one branch and {"enum": ["jet"]} in the other.  That prevents any instance from matching both.

  Alternatively, if your types really overlap like this with no way to distinguish them, you might be fine with "anyOf".

thanks,
