Validation for a JSON string inside of a request

[jjimene1]

Hi I have an API endpoint which expects a request with something like the following structure:

{
"rhs": ["{"object1": "value1"}, {"object2": "some-string"}"]
}

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

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.
