How to add multiple example values in swagger properties?

Question

I am using Swagger OpenAPI Specification tool, I have a string array property in one of the definitions as follows :

cities:
        type: array
        item         


        

Answer 1

To display an array example with multiple items, add the example on the array level instead of item level:

cities:
  type: array
  items:
    type: string
  example:
    - Pune
    - Mumbai
    - Bangaluru

  # or
  # example: [Pune, Mumbai, Bangaluru]

Answer 2

For openapi version - 3.0.0+

  major:
      type: array
