Hi I have an API endpoint which expects a request with something like the following structure:
\n
{
\n\"rhs\": [\"{\"object1\": \"value1\"}, {\"object2\": \"some-string\"}\"]
\n}
\n
I would like to provide validation for the outer structure but also for the string JSON within my JSON array. Right now when I try to validate, my string JSON is never deserialized into something I can validate against (throwing a body cast error), but if I specify it as a string the validator will not attempt to deserialize the string and assume everything is valid. Is there a way of having the validator attempt to deserialize the string through my OpenAPI schema or is this something that is not supported?

Hi @jjimene1
\n
it is possible to define specification for such case in OpenAPI 3.1.1 by using contentMediaType and contentSchema. Although the library currently doesn't support it.
