#### 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`.
#### x-additionalPropertiesName
**ATTENTION**: This is ReDoc-specific vendor extension. It won't be supported by other tools.
Extends the `additionalProperties` property of the schema object.
| Field Name | Type | Description |
| :------------- | :------: | :---------- |
| x-additionalPropertiesName | string | descriptive name of additional properties keys |
###### Usage in ReDoc
ReDoc uses this extension to display a more descriptive property name in objects with `additionalProperties` when viewing the property list with an `object`.
###### x-additionalPropertiesName example
```yaml
Player:
required:
- name
properties:
name:
type: string
additionalProperties:
x-additionalPropertiesName: attribute-name
type: string
```
#### x-explicitMappingOnly
**ATTENTION**: This is ReDoc-specific vendor extension. It won't be supported by other tools.
Extends the `discriminator` property of the schema object.
| Field Name | Type | Description |
| :------------- | :------: | :---------- |
| x-explicitMappingOnly | boolean | limit the discriminator selectpicker to the explicit mappings only |
###### Usage in ReDoc
ReDoc uses this extension to filter the `discriminator` mappings shown in the selectpicker.
When set to `true`, the selectpicker will only list the the explicitly defined mappings. When `false`,
the default behavior is kept, i.e. explicit and implicit mappings will be shown.
###### x-explicitMappingOnly example
```yaml
Pet:
type: object
required:
- name
- photoUrls
discriminator:
propertyName: petType
x-explicitMappingOnly: true
mapping:
cat: "#/components/schemas/Cat"
bee: "#/components/schemas/HoneyBee"
```
Will show in the selectpicker only the items `cat` and `bee`, even though the `Dog` class inherits from
the `Pet` class.
