Answer 1

As a response to user Vdex: this is not equivalent, what you wrote means that array elements occur in this particular order within the array.

Subject to a correct implementation, if you use this schema validator.

With this schema:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "type": "array",
  "items": [
    {
      "type": "boolean"
    },
    {
      "type": "number"
    },
    {
      "type": "string"
    }
  ]
}

This JSON will be validated:

[
  true,
  5,
  "a",
  "6",
  "a",
  5.2
]

But not this one:

[
  5,
  true,
  "a",
  "6",
  "a",
  5.2
]

Thus, the objective is totally different from keywords like "oneOf".
