## API design principles
If your parameter schema and example conflict, there is a problem in the definition of the schema or the example.
Solve it before you ship it.
## Configuration
| Option | Type | Description |
| ------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| severity | string | Possible values: `off`, `warn`, `error`. Default `warn`. |
| allowAdditionalProperties | boolean | Determines if additional properties are allowed in examples. Default `false`. |
```yaml
rules:
no-invalid-parameter-examples:
severity: error
allowAdditionalProperties: false
```
