OneOfRepresents a schema issue produced when a value matches multiple members of a union that is configured to allow exactly one match (oneOf mode).
When to use
Use when you need to detect ambiguous union matches when oneOf validation is
enabled.

astis theUnionAST node.actualis the raw input value (plainunknown).successeslists the AST nodes of each member that accepted the input.- The default formatter renders this as
"Expected exactly one member to match the input <actual>".

AST node representing a union of schemas.
Details
types — the member AST nodes.
mode — "anyOf" succeeds on the first match (like TypeScript unions);
"oneOf" requires exactly one member to match (fails if multiple do).
During parsing, members are tried in order. An internal candidate index
narrows which members to try based on the runtime type of the input and
discriminant ("sentinel") fields, making large unions efficient.
Example (Inspecting a union AST)
import { Schema, SchemaAST } from "effect"
const schema = Schema.Union([Schema.String, Schema.Number])
const ast = schema.ast
if (SchemaAST.isUnion(ast)) {
console.log(ast.types.length) // 2
console.log(ast.mode) // "anyOf"

Details
Every Schema has an .ast property of this type. Use the guard functions
(
isString
,
isObjects
, etc.) to narrow to a specific variant,
then access variant-specific fields.
- All variants share the
Base
fields:
annotations, checks,
encoding, context.
- Discriminate on the
_tag field (e.g. "String", "Objects", "Union").
