26   * Annotation to define JSON Schema {@code additionalProperties}, which is useful when working with key/value
27   * JSON data structures.
28   * <p>
29   * For example, the following JSON Schema defines a map from string (key) to string (value),
30   * </p>
31   * <pre>

39   * Note that keys are always strings in JSON, so the schema does not define that fact.
