-#### <a name="examplesObject"></a>Examples Object
-
-In an `example`, a JSON Reference MAY be used, with the 
-explicit restriction that examples having a JSON format with object named 
-`$ref` are not allowed. Therefore, that `example`, structurally, can be 
-either a string primitive or an object, similar to `additionalProperties`.
-
-In all cases, the payload is expected to be compatible with the type schema 
-for the associated value.  Tooling implementations MAY choose to 
-validate compatibility automatically, and reject the example value(s) if they 
-are incompatible.
