IOpenApiExample Interface

Definition

Defines the base properties for the example object. This interface is provided for type assertions but should not be implemented by package consumers beyond automatic mocking.

public interface IOpenApiExample : Microsoft.OpenApi.IOpenApiDescribedElement, Microsoft.OpenApi.IOpenApiReadOnlyExtensible, Microsoft.OpenApi.IOpenApiReferenceable, Microsoft.OpenApi.IOpenApiSummarizedElement, Microsoft.OpenApi.IShallowCopyable<Microsoft.OpenApi.IOpenApiExample>

Properties

Name Description
DataValue

Embedded literal example value. The dataValue property and the value property are mutually exclusive. To represent examples of media types that cannot be naturally represented in JSON or YAML, use a string value to contain the example with escaping where necessary. Available in OpenAPI 3.2+, serialized as extension in 3.1 and earlier.

Description

Long description for the example. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation.

(Inherited from IOpenApiDescribedElement)
Extensions

Specification extensions.

(Inherited from IOpenApiReadOnlyExtensible)
ExternalValue

A URL that points to the literal example. This provides the capability to reference examples that cannot easily be included in JSON or YAML documents. The value field and externalValue field are mutually exclusive.

SerializedValue

A string representation of the example. This is mutually exclusive with the value and dataValue properties. Available in OpenAPI 3.2+, serialized as extension in 3.1 and earlier.

Summary

Short description for the example.

(Inherited from IOpenApiSummarizedElement)
Value

Embedded literal example. The value field and externalValue field are mutually exclusive. To represent examples of media types that cannot naturally represented in JSON or YAML, use a string value to contain the example, escaping where necessary. You must use the IsJsonNullSentinel(JsonNode) method to check whether Default was assigned a null value in the document. Assign JsonNull to use get null as a serialized value.
