Parameter
Describes a single operation parameter.
A unique parameter is defined by a combination of a name and location. There are four possible parameter locations specified by the in field:
- path - Used together with Path Templating, where the parameter value is actually part of the operation's URL. This does not include the host or base path of the API. For example, in /items/{itemId}, the path parameter is itemId.
- query - Parameters that are appended to the URL. For example, in /items?id=###, the query parameter is id.
- header - Custom headers that are expected as part of the request. Note that RFC7230 states header names are case insensitive.
- cookie - Used to pass a specific cookie value to the API.
The rules for serialization of the parameter are specified in one of two ways. For simpler scenarios, a schema and style can describe the structure and syntax of the parameter.
For more complex scenarios, the content property can define the media type and schema of the parameter. A parameter must contain either a schema property, or a content property, but not both.
