Extension Field Registry

x-jsonschema-if - The JSON Schema if conditional subschema, used when targeting OpenAPI versions that do not directly support it.

JSON Schema draft-07 introduced the if keyword to define a conditional subschema that controls whether then or else applies.

The x-jsonschema-if extension mirrors the JSON Schema if keyword when targeting OpenAPI versions where the keyword is not directly available. It is serialized as x-jsonschema-if so tools can preserve and process the conditional subschema.

Use this extension only with JSON Schema versions before draft-07; draft-07 and later define if directly.

Like the x-jsonschema- namespace, this extension is intended for OpenAPI 3.0 and earlier. When using OpenAPI 3.1 or later, the OpenAPI jsonSchemaDialect field, or JSON Schema’s "$schema" keyword, should be used instead.

It can appear as a property in the following objects: ["Schema Object"].
