how should be specified and represent a nested array of a query parameter ?

[RSH17]

• As long as I understand, the query parameter type can define as a nested array.

{ "name": "petName", "in": "query", "description": "Status of pet that needs to be updated", "schema": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "integer" } } } } }

• But this will represent a flat array in the request URL of the swaggers.

https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/pet/19?status=available&petName=5&petName=5&petName=66&petName=77

I was wondering if this scenario is valid or if could you please give me a brief introduction about how to specify and represent a nested array of a query parameter.

Best regards

As of OpenAPI 3.1, nested arrays and nested objects are not actually supported in query parameters because the serialization rules are not defined for nested structures. More info here:

• Support deep objects for query parameters with deepObject style #1706
• OpenAPI path/query parameters nested structure serialization on Stack Overflow
