How to use 'projections' in SwaggerHub API definition properly?

I have the same resource and the same verb (GET), but would like to get different attribute sets as a response. How do I have to use 'projections' properly to be able to enter various GETs for the same resource?

 

Or is 'projection' the wrong way? Or is there another better way?

      Hi, thanks for your answer.

       

      But I guess I formulated my question not the way I should.

       

      What I try to get is the possibilty, to offer the API requester the chance, to choose from different sets of response attributes of the same resource.

       

      Means, resource /user has 4 response attributes:

      - name

      - street

      - town

      - country

       

      As a requester, I should be able to choose only name and street as a response (xs-response), or name, street, town and country (xl-response).

       

      Is there a way to offer this possibility?
