Number-Strings are displayed as number not as strings

[marcuszierke]

I noticed today that numbers, that I want to have returned as strings, are not been displayed correctly colorwise in the editor. If I define the values via enums it works fine but as soon as I specify an example on my own it is displayed in the editor as a number value (I guess that's what the red color stands for).

I attached some screenshots to illustrate the problem (for compliance reasons I couldn't extend the viewport of the screenshot, sorry for that).

Numeric strings must be quoted in order to be treated as strings. E.g.

score:
  type: string
  example: "8.84"   # <-----

or

type: object
example: {
  "value": "Austria",
  "score": "8.84"   # <-----
}

I've noticed the same thing. If you start your "number" with a 0 (or any other non-numeric value) it will render correctly as a string.

example: "001"

correctly renders as

But:
example: "101"

renders as:

If I change my markup to:
example: "\"101\""

it renders properly as:

@marcuszierke @byrdman can you please check if the issue is still happening? A similar issue was fixed in a recent release of Swagger Editor/UI.
