Support for Either

See original GitHub issue

hi.

Would like to be able present a type of Either[Dog,Cat] (or in clojure (either Dog, Cat, Moose) in the Spec. Quite common construct in the FP land. Would be like a enum, but with values of any type.

Currently such a thing could be presented as a complex type with optional fields for all the value => at least the swagger-ui would be able to generate sample models (with all possible alternatives in place) for it. Not perfect, but ~works. Requires also special coercion in the server side to map back into Either.

@webron

We thrive to describe deterministic APIs. Sending a single array of both articles and ads makes it that much more difficult to process, especially for strongly-typed languages, so we don’t support it.

This is the most ridiculous explanation I could possibly imagine about not supporting oneOf 😳
