Restrictions on JSON

JSON files used to create REST services and references have some restrictions.

• Arrays must have homogeneous content.
• Arrays cannot directly contain arrays ( [ [ ... ], [ ... ] ] )
• Null type properties throw the XSD schema conversion error in TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks. To create a REST Service or REST Binding edit the input JSON file and change the data type from null to string.
• If a Swagger 3.0 JSON file contains multiple servers URL, then on creating the REST service or a reference from it, the first URL is picked up to configure the shared resource's host and port. You can re-configure the host and port based on the server URL you want to invoke. Change the configurations accordingly in the shared resource.
• If an operation in Swagger 2.0 JSON file has parameters or responses with embedded anonymous schema, by default a validation error occurs. In TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks to turn off the validation error navigate to Preferences > BusinessWorks > Validation > Swagger with Anonymous schema and select the Warning or Ignore option.

• If a Swagger JSON file has optional array property with minItems keyword, then it is treated as a required array property because it gets converted to an array element which has minOccurs attribute value set as per the minItems value.
