Defining key-value pairs from schema to json - json

Question

I am trying to define an object with key value pairs from a JSON schema and validating it at: Json Schema Validator but I am having no joy as there does not seem to be instructions to do so in all the JSON schema sites I have looked up.
My object schema definition is as follows:
"gum guards" : {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"Color": { "type": "string" },
"product code": { "type": "string" },
"color code": { "type": "string"}
},
"enum" : ["Color", "product code", "color code"]
}
The resulting JSON file should give me values such as:
"gum guards" : [
{ "Color" : "Black", "product code" : "gg-7890", "color code" : "#000000" },
{ "Color" : "White", "product code" : "gg-7891", "color code" : "#ffffff" }
]
However, the validator is giving me the following error message:
[ {
"level" : "error",
"schema" : {
"loadingURI" : "#",
"pointer" : ""
},
"instance" : {
"pointer" : ""
},
"domain" : "validation",
"keyword" : "type",
"message" : "instance type (object) does not match any allowed primitive type (allowed: [\"array\"])",
"found" : "object",
"expected" : [ "array" ]
} ]
How do you define an array with key-value/pairs in JSON schema?
SCHEMA:
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "List of products",
"type": "array",
"items": {
"title": "Product",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"description": "The unique identifier for a product",
"type": "number"
},
"Category" : {
"type": "string"
},
"Product Name" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"gum guards" : {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"Color": { "type": "string" },
"product code": { "type": "string" },
"color code": { "type": "string"}
},
"required" : ["Color", "product code", "color code"]
},
"Summary" : {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"Description": {
"oneOf": [
{"$ref" : "json/product_summary.json#1110/description"},
{"$ref" : "json/product_summary.json#1111/description"},
{"$ref" : "json/product_summary.json#1112/description"},
{"$ref" : "json/product_summary.json#1114/description"},
]
}
}
}
}
}
OUTPUT:
{
"id" : 1110,
"Device Type" : "handset",
"Product Name" : "Pack of accessories",
"variants" : [
{ "Color" : "Black", "product code" : "gg-09090", "color code" : "#000000" },
{ "Color" : "White", "product code" : "gg-09091", "color code" : "#ffffff" }
],
"Summary" : {
"description" : "Pack of fighter products with chosen colour guard"
}
}

The issue is here:
"gum guards" : {
"type": "object",
You've declared that "gum guards" must be an object, like:
"gum guards": {"Color" : ...},
If you want "gum guards" to be an array, then use "type": "array", and specify the schema for the items using "items":
"gum guards": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {...},
"required": ["Color", "product code", "color code"]
}
}
(I've also corrected "enum" to "required", because that looked like a mistake.)
