The keyword set defined by the core vocabs can do lots of things, but sometimes those things are difficult or cumbersome to represent.
I'd like to propose a combinatorics vocab that defines keywords that represent combinations of applicators.
For example, if you wanted to require any of a number of properties, you currently have to do
{
"anyOf": [
{ "required": [ "foo" ] },
{ "required": [ "bar" ] },
{ "required": [ "baz" ] },
{ "required": [ "qux" ] },
{ "required": [ "quux" ] },
{ "required": [ "quuz" ] }
]
}or maybe (though it's not quite the same thing because the above also allows additional properties)
{
"properties": {
"foo": true,
"bar": true,
"baz": true,
"qux": true,
"quux": true,
"quuz": true
},
"additionalProperties": false,
"minProperties": 1
}But the vocab could define a single keyword, e.g. anyOfRequired that does this much more simply
{
"anyOfRequired": [ "foo", "bar", "baz", "qux", "quux", "quuz" ]
}This vocab would be full of odds and ends like this.
A lot of keyword requests are about making things like this easier, so maybe we just have an evolving vocab to contain these "refactor" keywords.
