How to describe a model in Swagger for an array with simple objects?

Question

I have a REST services to document, some of them accepts simple array like:

[
  { \"name\":\"a\" },
  { \"name\":\"b\" },
  { \"name\":\"c\" }
]

Answer 1

Considering the format of the array you mentioned

[
  { "name":"a" },
  { "name":"b" },
  { "name":"c" }
]

I guess the following format can be used:

paths:
  /test:
    post:
      description: Test request
      operationId: test
      parameters:
        - in: body
          name: requestParameter
          required: true
          schema:
            type: array
            items:
              properties:
                name:
                  type: string
      responses:
        '200':
          description: Success response
