+If *additionalProperties* is not present or is set to `false`, every property that is not explicitly listed in the *properties* and *patternProperties* objects will be ignored, as described in <a href="#missingFields">Missing fields</a>.
 Missing fields are ignored to avoid having to rewrite objects before serializing. However, other schema rules would throw in similar situations.
 If *additionalProperties* is set to `true`, it will be used by `JSON.stringify` to stringify the additional properties. If you want to achieve maximum performance, we strongly encourage you to use a fixed schema where possible.
 The additional properties will always be serialized at the end of the object.
