describe in swagger where object first field is a distinct string not named

Question

If I have an array of objects which are various applications that look for example like this

Application Name 1
    _Id: 1
    category: design
    version: xx.xy
Application Name 2
    _Id: 2
    category: spreadsheet
    version: xx.xx

etc

How do I describe the first field?

so

I will have an array of $ref: "#/definitions/Application" and the other fields are easy

Application:
    type: object
    properties:
        _Id:
            type: integer
        category: 
            type: string

etc

But how do I handle the names? ie Application name 1, 2 etc?

Try like this:-

    "items":{
        type: array
        items:{
          properties:{
              "Name":{
                  type:object,
                  properties:{
                    _Id:{
                        type: integer
                    },
                    category: {
                        type: string
                    },
                    version:{
                      type: string  
                    }
                  }

              }
        }
    }
}

Doesn't that miss out the name of the application? ie each element of the array has "name of application 1": { _id: 1, category: "finance"} "name 2": {_id:2, category: "dcvnv"} etc – user4447899 Jan 10 '18 at 13:07
you must have a object which contained all array of object right? – yogesh agrawal Jan 10 '18 at 13:14
"items": [ {"Name 1": { "_id": 191, "version": "2", "category": "B" }}, {"Name 2": { "_id": 192, "version": "2", "category": "C"}}] – user4447899 Jan 10 '18 at 13:19
