Handling generic JSON schemas in client libraries

If you have generated a client library, it is important to note that Swagger Codegen generates types based on properties defined in the Swagger models, and that Swagger Codegen will produce empty or incomplete types when an object is defined with additionalProperties: true. To handle such objects, use the --import-mappings command-line parameter to map these objects to a generic JSON object type or a custom object type of your choosing.

Example Swagger Codegen input parameters:

C#: --import-mappings ItemAttributes=Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject
Java: --import-mappings ItemAttributes=com.google.gson.JsonObject
