4.8.0 - Enhanced Subtype Resolution (especially via Jackson module)

jsonschema-generator

Added

• Support for custom definitions in the scope of a particular field/method via SchemaGeneratorConfigPart.withCustomDefinitionProvider()
• Ability to opt-out of normal "attribute collection" for custom definitions through new CustomDefinition constructor parameters

Changed

• Consolidate anyOf entries that only contain an anyOf themselves into the outer anyOf (mostly relevant for nullable entries with subtypes)
• If a field/method is of a container type: apply the per-property configurations on its items; with MemberScope.isFakeContainerItemScope() flag

Fixed

• Should consider per-type attributes even on inline custom definitions
• Use less strict anyOf instead of oneOf when indicating that a sub-schema may be of "type": "null"

Dependency Update

• com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core/jackson-databind from 2.10.2 to 2.10.3
• Remove dependencies to log4j implementation (only slf4j-api remains)

jsonschema-module-jackson

Added

• Look-up subtypes according to @JsonTypeInfo and @JsonSubTypes annotations per-type or overridden per-property:
  • Considering @JsonTypeInfo.include with values As.PROPERTY, As.EXISTING_PROPERTY, As.WRAPPER_ARRAY, As.WRAPPER_OBJECT
  • Considering @JsonTypeInfo.use with values Id.NAME (from @JsonTypeName) and Id.CLASS
• New JacksonOption.SKIP_SUBTYPE_LOOKUP for disabling the new look-up of subtypes (i.e. to regain previous behaviour) if required
• New JacksonOption.IGNORE_TYPE_INFO_TRANSFORM for disabling addition of extra property or wrapping in an array/object according to @JsonTypeInfo
