+
+Here is also a list of known limitations (contributions welcome):
+
+- Unsupported features are skipped silently. It is currently advised to use the command-line Python converter (see above) to see any warnings, and to inspect the resulting grammar / test it w/ [llama-gbnf-validator](../examples/gbnf-validator/gbnf-validator.cpp).
+- Can't mix `properties` w/ `anyOf` / `oneOf` in the same type (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/7703)
+- [prefixItems](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-prefixitems) is broken (but [items](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-items) works)
+- `minimum`, `exclusiveMinimum`, `maximum`, `exclusiveMaximum`: only supported for `"type": "integer"` for now, not `number`
+- Nested `$ref`s are broken (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/8073)
+- [pattern](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-validation#name-pattern)s must start with `^` and end with `$`
+- Remote `$ref`s not supported in the C++ version (Python & JavaScript versions fetch https refs)
+- `string` [formats](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-validation#name-defined-formats) lack `uri`, `email`
+- No [`patternProperties`](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-patternproperties)
+
+And a non-exhaustive list of other unsupported features that are unlikely to be implemented (hard and/or too slow to support w/ stateless grammars):
+
+- [`uniqueItems`](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-validation#name-uniqueitems)
 - [`contains`](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-contains) / `minContains`
-- `uniqueItems`
 - `$anchor` (cf. [dereferencing](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-dereferencing))
 - [`not`](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-not)
 - [Conditionals](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-keywords-for-applying-subsche) `if` / `then` / `else` / `dependentSchemas`
-- [`patternProperties`](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core#name-patternproperties)
+
+### A word about additionalProperties
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> By default, `object`s accept [additional properties](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/object#additionalproperties), which you might not want / not expect, and which will make sampling slower (not just because of the extra tokens, but also generates a slower grammar).
+> You can set `"additionalProperties": false` on the schema of any object to ensure only properties listed in `properties` are generated (not needed for non-`object` types, e.g. `array` or `string`).
+
+If you're using [Pydantic](https://pydantic.dev/) to generate schemas, you can disable additional properties with the `extra` config on each model class:
+
+```python
+# pip install pydantic
+import json
+from typing import Annotated, List
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Extra, Field
+class QAPair(BaseModel):
+    class Config:
+        extra = 'forbid'  # triggers additionalProperties: false in the JSON schema
+    question: str
+    concise_answer: str
+    justification: str
+
+class Summary(BaseModel):
+    class Config:
+        extra = 'forbid'
+    key_facts: List[Annotated[str, Field(pattern='- .{5,}')]]
+    question_answers: List[Annotated[List[QAPair], Field(min_items=5)]]
+
+print(json.dumps(Summary.model_json_schema(), indent=2))

+
+Note however that [zod-to-json-schema](https://github.com/StefanTerdell/zod-to-json-schema) currently always seems to set `"additionalProperties": false` anyway (even w/ zod schemas on which `nonstrict()` / `passthrough()` was called).
+
