|disallowAdditionalPropertiesIfNotPresent|If false, the 'additionalProperties' implementation (set to true by default) is compliant with the OAS and JSON schema specifications. If true (default), keep the old (incorrect) behaviour that 'additionalProperties' is set to false by default.|<dl><dt>**false**</dt><dd>The 'additionalProperties' implementation is compliant with the OAS and JSON schema specifications.</dd><dt>**true**</dt><dd>Keep the old (incorrect) behaviour that 'additionalProperties' is set to false by default.</dd></dl>|true|

|enumUnknownDefaultCase|If the server adds new enum cases, that are unknown by an old spec/client, the client will fail to parse the network response.With this option enabled, each enum will have a new case, 'unknown_default_open_api', so that when the server sends an enum case that is not known by the client/spec, they can safely fallback to this case.|<dl><dt>**false**</dt><dd>No changes to the enum's are made, this is the default option.</dd><dt>**true**</dt><dd>With this option enabled, each enum will have a new case, 'unknown_default_open_api', so that when the enum case sent by the server is not known by the client/spec, can safely be decoded to this case.</dd></dl>|false|
|fileNaming|Naming convention for the output files: 'camelCase', 'kebab-case'.| |kebab-case|
|legacyDiscriminatorBehavior|Set to false for generators with better support for discriminators.
