How does the converter handle arrays of objects?
The engine inspects all objects in the array, merging their properties to create a unified schema with accurate required fields.
Is OpenAPI 3.1 supported?
Yes. When selecting OpenAPI 3.1, nullable fields and standard JSON Schema 2020-12 constructs are appropriately applied.
