 <a name="parameterDescription"></a>description | `string` | A brief description of the parameter. This could contain examples of use.  [CommonMark syntax](http://spec.commonmark.org/) can be used for rich text representation.
 <a name="parameterRequired"></a>required | `boolean` | Determines whether this parameter is mandatory. If the parameter is [`in`](#parameterIn) "path", this property is **required** and its value MUST be `true`. Otherwise, the property MAY be included and its default value is `false`. 
 <a name="parameterDeprecated"></a> deprecated | `boolean` | Specifies that a parameter is deprecated and should be transitioned out of usage.
-<a name="parameterSchema"></a>schema | [Schema Object](#schemaObject) | The schema defining the type used for the parameter.

+The content of the parameter is specified in one of two ways. By passing a schema and content-type, complex parameters may be serialized and passed:
+
+Field Name | Type | Description
+---|:---:|---
+<a name="parameterContent"></a>content | [Content Object](#contentObject) | The content of the request body.
+
+By defining a subset of JSON-schema properties:
+
+Field Name | Type | Description
+---|:---:|---
+<a name="parameterType"></a>type | `string` | **Required.** The type of the parameter. Since the parameter is not located at the request body, it is limited to simple types (that is, not an object). The value MUST be one of `"string"`, `"number"`, `"integer"`, `"boolean"`, `"array"` or `"file"`.
+<a name="parameterFormat"></a>format | `string` | The extending format for the previously mentioned [`type`](#parameterType). See [Data Type Formats](#dataTypeFormat) for further details.
+<a name="parameterAllowEmptyValue"/>allowEmptyValue | `boolean` | Sets the ability to pass empty-valued parameters. This is valid only for `query` parameters and allows you to send a parameter with a name only or  an empty value. Default value is `false`.
+<a name="parameterItems"></a>items | [Items Object](#itemsObject) | **Required if [`type`](#parameterType) is "array".** Describes the type of items in the array.
+<a name="parameterDefault"></a>default | * | Declares the value of the parameter that the server will use if none is provided, for example a "count" to control the number of results per page might default to 100 if not supplied by the client in the request. (Note: "default" has no meaning for required parameters.)  See http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#anchor101. Unlike JSON Schema this value MUST conform to the defined [`type`](#parameterType) for this parameter.
