#### <a name="oasVersion"></a>OpenAPI Version String

The version string signifies the version of the OpenAPI Specification that the document complies to. The format for this string _must_ be `major`.`minor`.`patch`. The `patch` _may_ be suffixed by a hyphen and extra alphanumeric characters.

A `major`.`minor` shall be used to designate the OpenAPI Specification version, and will be considered compatible with the OpenAPI Specification specified by that `major`.`minor` version. The patch version will not be considered by tooling, making no distinction between `3.0.0` and `3.0.1`.

In subsequent versions of the OpenAPI Specification, care will be given such that increments of the `minor` version should not interfere with operations of tooling developed to a lower minor version. Thus a hypothetical `3.1.0` specification should be usable with tooling designed for `3.0.0`.

<a name="oasHost"></a>host | `string` | The host (name or ip) serving the API. This MUST be the host only and does not include the scheme nor sub-paths. It MAY include a port.

If it is not included, the API is served directly under the `host`. The value MUST start with a leading slash (`/`). The `basePath` does not support [path templating](#pathTemplating).
<a name="oasScheme"></a>scheme | `string` | The transfer protocol of the API. Values MUST be from the list: `"http"`, `"https"`, `"ws"`, `"wss"`. If the `scheme` is not included, the default scheme to be used is the one used to access the OpenAPI definition itself.

As discussed, introducing templates when other path templates use parameters seems less elegant, but I don't have a better alternative to supply at this time.
