In the OpenAPI spec 
<https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.0.md>, 
each table that lists the properties for an object is titled "Fields". For 
example, take a look at the Info object. 
<https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.0.md#info-object>
 The 
table here that lists its properties is titled "Fixed Fields." The left 
column shows the "Field Name."

I thought JSON used the term "Property" or "Member" to describe each item 
in an object. Can you help me understand why the specification authors 
chose to use "fields" here? Frequently, as each field is described, the 
description uses the term property instead of field.

How does a field differ from a property in JSON? Is field used to allow for 
a distinction between "fixed fields" and "patterned fields"?
