 | <a name="example-description"></a>description | `string` | Long description for the example. [CommonMark syntax](https://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation. |
 | <a name="example-data-value"></a>dataValue | Any | An example of the data structure that MUST be valid according to the relevant [Schema Object](#schema-object).  If this field is present, `value` MUST be absent. |
 | <a name="example-serialized-value"></a>serializedValue | `string` | An example of the serialized form of the value, including encoding and escaping as described under [Validating Examples](#validating-examples).  If `dataValue` is present, then this field SHOULD contain the serialization of the given data.  Otherwise, it SHOULD be the valid serialization of a data value that itself MUST be valid as described for `dataValue`.  This field SHOULD NOT be used if the serialization format is JSON, as the data form is easier to work with. If this field is present, `value`, and `externalValue` MUST be absent. |
-| <a name="example-external-value"></a>externalValue | `string` | A URI that identifies the serialized example in a separate document, allowing for values not easily or readably expressed as a Unicode string.  If `dataValue` is present, then this field SHOULD identify a serialization of the given data.  Otherwise, the value SHOULD be the valid serialization of a data value that itself MUST be valid as described for `dataValue`. If this field is present, `serializedValue`, and `value` MUST be absent.
