### Tag Object

| :------------- | :------: | :---------- |
| x-traitTag     | boolean  | In Swagger two operations can have multiple tags. This property distinguishes between tags that are used to group operations (default) from tags that are used to mark operation with certain trait (`true` value) |

###### How to use with Redoc
Tags that have `x-traitTag` set to `true` are listed in the side-menu but don't have any subitems (operations). It also renders the `description` tag.
This is useful for handling out common things like Pagination, Rate-Limits, etc.

###### x-traitTag example
json
```json
{
    "name": "Pagination",
    "description": "Pagination description (can use markdown syntax)",

#### x-examples
| Field Name     |  Type    | Description |

###### How to use with Redoc
If specified, you can use `x-summary` as the response button text, with description rendered under the button.

### Schema Object
Extends the OpenAPI [Schema Object](https://redocly.com/docs/openapi-visual-reference/schemas/)

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

###### How to use with Redoc
Schemas marked as `x-nullable` are marked in Redoc with the label Nullable.

#### x-extendedDiscriminator
**ATTENTION**: This is a Redoc-specific vendor extension, and is not supported by other tools.

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

###### How to use with Redoc
Redoc uses this vendor extension to solve name-clash issues with the standard `discriminator`.
Value of this field specifies the field which is used as an extended discriminator.
Redoc displays definition with selectpicker using which user can select value of the `x-extendedDiscriminator`-marked field.
Redoc displays the definition 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 a Redoc-specific vendor extension, and is not 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  |

###### How to use with 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, and is not 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 |

###### How to use with Redoc
Redoc uses this extension to filter the `discriminator` mappings shown in the selectpicker.
When set to `true`, the selectpicker lists only the explicitly defined mappings. When `false`, the default behavior is kept, in other words, explicit and implicit mappings are 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"
```

Shows in the selectpicker only the items `cat` and `bee`, even though the `Dog` class inherits from the `Pet` class.
