+Applying subschemas conditionally
+=================================
+
+|draft7| ``if``, ``then`` and ``else`` keywords
+
+The ``if``, ``then`` and ``else`` keywords allow the application of a subschema
+based on the outcome of another schema, much like the ``if/then/else``
+constructs you've probably seen in traditional programming languages.
+
+If ``if`` is valid, ``then`` must also be valid (and ``else`` is ignored.) If
+``if`` is invalid, ``else`` must also be valid (and ``then`` is ignored).
+
+We can put this in the form of a truth table, showing the combinations of when
+``if``, ``then``, and ``else`` are valid and the resulting validity of the
+entire schema:
+
+==== ==== ==== ============
+if   then else whole schema
+==== ==== ==== ============
+          X    X
+     X          
+     X    X    X
+X               
+X         X     
+X    X         X
+X    X    X    X
+==== ==== ==== ============
+
+For example, let's say you wanted to write a schema to handle addresses in the
+United States and Canada. These countries have different postal code formats,
+and we want to select which format to validate against based on the country. If
+the address is in the United States, the ``postal_code`` field is a "zipcode":
+five numeric digits followed by an optional four digit suffix. If the address is
+in Canada, the ``postal_code`` field is a six digit alphanumeric string where
+letters and numbers alternate.
+
+.. schema_example::
+
+    {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "street_address": {
+          "type": "string"
+        },
+        "country": {
+          "enum": ["United States of America", "Canada"]
+        }
+      },
+      "if": {
+        "properties": { "country": { "const": "United States of America" } }
+      },
+      "then": {
+        "properties": { "postal_code": { "pattern": "[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?" } }
+      },
+      "else": { 
+        "properties": { "postal_code": { "pattern": "[A-Z][0-9][A-Z] [0-9][A-Z][0-9]" } }
+      }
+    }
+    --
+    {
+      "street_address": "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW",
+      "country": "United States of America",
+      "postal_code": "20500"
+    } 
+    --
+    {
+      "street_address": "24 Sussex Drive",
+      "country": "Canada",
+      "postal_code": "K1M 1M4"
+    }
+    --X
+    {
+      "street_address": "24 Sussex Drive",
+      "country": "Canada",
+      "postal_code": "10000"
+    }
+
+Unfortunately, this approach above doesn't scale to more than two countries. You
+can, however, wrap pairs of ``if`` and ``then`` inside an ``allOf`` to create
+something that would scale. In this example, we'll use United States and
+Canadian postal codes, but also add Netherlands postal codes, which are 4 digits
+followed by two letters. It's left as an exercise to the reader to expand this
+to the remaining postal codes of the world.
