+## Customizing the interpreter options
+
+According to JSON schema if `additionalProperties` or `additionalItems` are omitted, their default value is `true`. `Interpreter` class honors this behavior, however for people coming from other code generators like `Open API Genertor` or `JSON Schema 2 POJO` this might come as a surprise.
+
+To avoid adding `additionalProperties: false` or `additionalItems: false` to all your specs just to get the same behavior as other code generators, this can be achieved by configuring interpreter options:
+- `ignoreAdditionalProperties` - if set, it ensures that `additionalProperties` is considered to be set to `false`
+- `ignoreAdditionalItems` - if set, it ensures that `additionalItems` is considered to be set to `false`
+
+Check out this [example out for a live demonstration](../examples/passing-interpreter-options/) for how to customize the behavior of `additionalProperties`.
