### Schema Object vendor extensions

#### x-nullable
| Field Name     |	Type	  | Description |
| :------------- | :------: | :---------- |
| x-nullable | boolean | marks schema as a nullable |

###### Usage in ReDoc
Schemas marked as `x-nullable` are marked in ReDoc with the label Nullable

#### x-extendedDiscriminator
**ATTENTION**: This is ReDoc-specific vendor extension. It won't be supported by other tools.

| Field Name     |	Type	  | Description |
| :------------- | :------: | :---------- |
| x-extendedDiscriminator | string | specifies extended discriminator |

###### Usage in ReDoc
ReDoc uses this vendor extension to solve name-clash issues with the standard `discriminator`.
Value of this field specifies the field which will be used as a extended discriminator.
ReDoc displays definition with selectpicker using which user can select value of the `x-extendedDiscriminator`-marked field.
ReDoc displays the definition which is derived from the current (using `allOf`) and has `enum` with only one value which is the same as the selected value of the field specified as `x-extendedDiscriminator`.

###### x-extendedDiscriminator example

```yaml

Payment:
  x-extendedDiscriminator: type
  type: object
  required:
    - type
  properties:
    type:
      type: string
    name:
      type: string

CashPayment:
  allOf:
    - $ref: "#/definitions/Payment"
    - properties:
        type:
          type: string
          enum:
            - cash
        currency:
          type: string

PayPalPayment:
  allOf:
    - $ref: "#/definitions/Payment"
    - properties:
        type:
          type: string
          enum:
            - paypal
        userEmail:
          type: string
```

In the example above the names of definitions (`PayPalPayment`) are named differently than
names in the payload (`paypal`) which is not supported by default `discriminator`.
