 ### **Q:** Can I use discriminators with `oneOf` and `anyOf`?
 
-Currently, there is support for top level discriminators. See [top-level discriminator example](https://github.com/cdimascio/express-openapi-validator/tree/master/examples/8-top-level-discriminator)
-
+- By default, only **top-level discriminators** are supported. See the [top-level discriminator example](https://github.com/cdimascio/express-openapi-validator/tree/master/examples/8-top-level-discriminator).
+- To also enable **deep discriminator** support (nested within `oneOf` / `anyOf`), set the `discriminator` option under `validateRequests`:
+
+```js
+app.use(
+    OpenApiValidator.middleware({
+        apiSpec,
+        validateRequests: {

+      > This option was introduced in version 5.6.0 to extend support for OpenAPI discriminators.
+    
+      Enables validation of schemas that use OpenAPI `discriminator` fields with `oneOf` / `anyOf`.
+    
+      By default, only **top-level discriminators** are supported.  
+      When this option is enabled, the validator also supports **deep (nested) discriminators** inside `oneOf` / `anyOf` structures.
+    
+      **Option Schema**
+        ```javascript
+        discriminator: false | true
+        ```
+    
+        - `true` – enable validation of both top-level and deep discriminators
+        - `false` – (**default**) only top-level discriminators are validated
+    
+      **Example**
+        ```javascript
+        app.use(
+          OpenApiValidator.middleware({
+            apiSpec,
