+# Schema Extra - Example
+
+You can define extra information to go in JSON Schema.
+
+A common use case is to add an `example` that will be shown in the docs.
+
+There are several ways you can declare extra JSON Schema information.
+
+## Pydantic `schema_extra`
+
+You can declare an example for a Pydantic model using `Config` and `schema_extra`, as described in <a href="https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/schema/#schema-customization" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic's docs: Schema customization</a>:
+
+```Python hl_lines="13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21"
+{!../../../docs_src/schema_extra_example/tutorial001.py!}
+```
+
+That extra info will be added as-is to the output JSON Schema.
+
+## `Field` additional arguments
+
+In `Field`, `Path`, `Query`, `Body` and others you'll see later, you can also declare extra info for the JSON Schema by passing any other arbitrary arguments to the function, for example, to add an `example`:
+
+```Python hl_lines="2 8 9 10 11"
+{!../../../docs_src/schema_extra_example/tutorial002.py!}
+```
+
+!!! warning
+    Have in mind that those extra arguments passed won't add any validation, only annotation, for documentation purposes.
+
+## `Body` additional arguments
+
+The same way you can pass extra info to `Field`, you can do the same with `Path`, `Query`, `Body`, etc.
+
+For example, you can pass an `example` for a body request to `Body`:
+
+```Python hl_lines="20 21 22 23 24 25"
+{!../../../docs_src/schema_extra_example/tutorial003.py!}
+```
+
+## Example in the docs UI
+
+With any of the methods above it would look like this in the `/docs`:
+
+<img src="/img/tutorial/body-fields/image01.png">
+
+## Technical Details
+
+About `example` vs `examples`...
+
+JSON Schema defines a field <a href="https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-validation.html#rfc.section.9.5" class="external-link" target="_blank">`examples`</a> in the most recent versions, but OpenAPI is based on an older version of JSON Schema that didn't have `examples`.
+
+So, OpenAPI defined its own <a href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.3.md#fixed-fields-20" class="external-link" target="_blank">`example`</a> for the same purpose (as `example`, not `examples`), and that's what is used by the docs UI (using Swagger UI).
+
+So, although `example` is not part of JSON Schema, it is part of OpenAPI, and that's what will be used by the docs UI.
+
+## Other info
+
+The same way, you could add your own custom extra info that would be added to the JSON Schema for each model, for example to customize a frontend user interface, etc.
