Ignoring circular references.

[gurux-kurumi]

ShouldInclude allows filtering entire entities from the schema, but offers no support for filtering specific properties.
In Swagger it's possible to use ISchemaFilter for that.

This is critical if there are circular references on the schema.

Circular references currently prevent the use of OpenAPI.

Hi @gurux-kurumi, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Do you mind sharing code snippets/files for us to reproduce the issue?

[gurux-kurumi]

Hi @MaggieKimani1,

Thank you for the prompt response.
Here is a simple example from the problem. The JsonIgnore attribute cannot always be used.

BR,
Mikko

public class Parent
{
public List Childs = new List();
};

public class Child
{
public Parent Parent;
};

This issue seems related to ASPNET's use of OpenAPI.NET and not related to this library directly. /cc @captainsafia

@gurux-kurumi Can you share a more complete repro that demonstrates the .NET and ASP.NET Core versions that your project is using?

There are differences in behavior between .NET 9 and .NET 10 due to the way schema references are handled in the implementation.

[gurux-kurumi]

Hi @captainsafia ,

ASP.NET Core version is 9.0, but it's possible to use version 10 if this works in that.

@captainsafia closing this since it's unrelated to OAI.NET directly.
