 `server` | `String`. URL (`https://example.com`) or relative URI Reference (`/path/subpath`). Must match with of the defined `Server Objects`. If matched, it will be prepended to every requested path.
 `serverVariableEncoder` | `Function=identity`. An encoder function that is run on a server variable before substituted to the URL template.
 `contextUrl` | `String`. URL, e.g. `https://example.com`. Used in following situations: <br /><br />If `server` option is not matched and there is no `Server Object` defined in the definition, this URL will be prepended to every requested path.<br /><br />If matched `Server Object` is defined as relative URI Reference its `url` fixed field is resolved against `contenxtUrl`. Resolved URL will be prepended to every requested path. 
+`baseURL` | `String`. URL (`https://example.com`) . Takes precedence over server and any defined servers in the Spec. It will be prepended to every requested path.
 
 For all later references, we will always use following OpenAPI 3.0.0 definition when referring
 to a `spec`.
