## Spec conventions
- This is a preview and it may be not correct. If you find discrepancies between the spec and our [docs](https://discord.com/developers/docs), other than the ones mentioned below, let us know, and follow the docs, not the spec.
- Even though we define `anyOf` and `oneOf` unions, they all mean that only one type from the list can be used as a data format. E.g. `anyOf: {'Cat', 'Dog'}`, still means that you can either pass `Cat` or `Dog`, not `Cat+Dog`. This is signified by the custom extension `x-discord-union: oneOf`. We use `anyOf` when we technically cant use `oneOf`. One of the reasons to do that is e.g. when all the fields are optional and the passed in data could be validated with more than one format.
- We avoid over-specifying response fields and merely define field types, like `int32`, and we avoid defining specific minimums, maximums, etc.
- Some fields typed as strings in our docs may be typed as ints in the spec. Our API accepts strings for int fields if they are parseable as ints. We think itll be more precise to spec these int-parseable strings as ints.
## Known issues
- (almost) All nullable fields are additionally marked as optional and all optional fields are additionally marked as nullable.
- Operations and fields dont have descriptions.
- Operations dont have tags.
- Flag fields dont detail specific flag values and their meaning.
- Optional query args are typed as nullable, even though it doesnt make much sense.
