Object of objects - adding objects

[ris...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm complete noob in JSON schema and trying to create my first form based on JSON schema. Can you please help me with this?

User can add new items specified by "items", when I specify array of objects

{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "array": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "string": {
                        "type": "string"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Result:

{
  "array": []
}

(Button "+item")

 

 
But what if I need object of objects? How to make it possible for user to add new objects, but only in format that I specify?

{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "object": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "subobject": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "string": {
                            "type": "string"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Result:

{
  "object": {
    "subobject": {
      "string": ""
    }
  }
}

But user here can't add new objects with same format as "subobject".
 

(No possibility to add another "subobject").

Thank you very much for any help.

You want to add multiple subobjects under different key names but the same schema?  If so, instead of declaring one named property "subobject" under the "properties" keyword, just define your schema under the "additionalProperties" keyword.  That will allow any property of any name to be added with that schema.

thanks,
