A way to descibe enumeration values

[mitar]

So enumeration can be a long list of values, which are often some constants used by a machine. I think there should be a way to attach description to each of those values.

One way to achieve this is to use a oneOf array with const and title (and maybe description):

{
  "oneOf": [
    {"const": "choice1", "title": "this is choice 1"},
    {"const": "choice2", "title": "this is choice 2"}
  ]
}

See #57 for reference.

And for v4 JSON schema this probably means I could do something like:

{
  "oneOf": [
    {"enum": ["choice1"], "title": "this is choice 1"},
    {"enum": ["choice2"], "title": "this is choice 2"}
  ]
}

No? Hm, maybe this can be an approach. Thanks.

@mitar yes, that's the correct option in draft-04. const in draft-06 just makes the intent more clear. Sounds like we can close this, please LMK if you weren't done with the issue :-)
