OpenAPI/Swagger building objects with multiple same keys

Question

I have some shocking response JSON to work with from an internal client. They can't change it on the fly unfortunately as multiple teams are sending them requests and already dealing with this horrendous response.

My question is, is there any way to use OpenAPI to build an object structure which will map the incoming JSON below, with the, frankly, moronic name/value setup as you can see:

{
    "data": [{
            "name": "something",
            "value": "123"
        },
        {
            "name": "something2",
            "value": "str"
        },
        {
            "name": "something3",
            "value": "str123"
        },
        {
            "name": "something4",
            "value": "str456"
        },
        {
            "name": "something5",
            "value": "str333"
        },
        {
            "name": "something6",
            "value": "str333rr"
        },
        {
            "name": "something7",
            "value": "str333rr322"
        },
        {
            "name": "something8",
            "value": "str333rr354"
        },
        {
            "name": "something9:",
            "value": "str333rr354543"
        }
    ]
}

I don't really see the complexity of this JSON, I've quickly done something in the swagger editor to match the structure:

  NameValue:
    type: object
    properties:
      name:
        type: string
      value:
        type: string

  ResultSet:
    type: object
    properties:
      data:
        type: array
        items:
          $ref: '#/definitions/NameValue'

Am I missing something ?

I literally just discovered array type in openapi, I'm just starting off with it, and an idiot. Thanks for your help.
