JSON schema where keys have different names

Question

{"57ecf565817bc3932d8de349": {
  "prices": {

    "2017-07-01": {
      "summer": -1, 
      "winter": -1, 
      "xmas": -1},

    "2017-08-05": {
      "summer": -1, 
      "winter": -1, 
      "xmas": -1}
    }
  }
}

How can I write a JSON schema where each key is different (here : 2017-07-01, 2017-08-05) so I can't use items as in this example http://json-schema.org/example1.html#definitions (Set of products schema).

This is my schema :

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "57ecf565817bc3932d8de349": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "prices": {
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
            "2017-07-01": {
              "type": "object",
              "properties": {
                "summer": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "winter": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "xmas": {
                  "type": "integer"
                }
              },
              "required": [
                "summer",
                "winter",
                "xmas"
              ]
            },
            "2017-08-05": {
              "type": "object",
              "properties": {
                "summer": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "winter": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "xmas": {
                  "type": "integer"
                }
              },
              "required": [
                "summer",
                "winter",
                "xmas"
              ]
            }
          },
          "required": [
            "2017-07-01",
            "2017-08-05"
          ]
        }
      },
      "required": [
        "prices"
      ]
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "57ecf565817bc3932d8de349"
  ]
}

In my original JSON I have a lot of dates like this : 2017-07-01, and I would like to avoid to repeat the schema for each date.

You can do this with the additionalProperties keyword. In this example, every property in the object must validate against the given schema.

{
  "type": "object",
  "additionalProperties": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "summer": { "type": "integer" },
      "winter": { "type": "integer" },
      "xmas": { "type": "integer" }
    },
    "required": ["summer", "winter", "xmas"]
  }
}

Answer 2

use patternProperties

https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/object.html#pattern-properties

something like

{
  "type": "object",
  "patternProperties": {
    "^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}": { 
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
         "summer": {
            "type": "integer"
         },
         "winter": {
           "type": "integer"
           etc...
