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

It probably looks like this:

    ...
    "parameters" : [{
      "name" : "whatEverThatArrayCalled",
      "type" : "array",
      "items" : {
        "$ref" : "whatEverThatArrayCalled"
      }
      ...
    }],
    "models" : {
   {
    "id" : "whatEverThatArrayCalled",
    "properties": 
        {
       "whatEverThatArrayCalled" :
            {
         "type" : "array",
         "items":{"name":"a",
                  "name":"b",
                  "name":"c"
                  },

             }
         }
    }
 }        

...
