What is the difference between "anyof" and "oneof" in z schema?

I am late in the quest but as per my understanding the usage of this keyword depends on the type of the object/parent itself. for example if you are trying to define the type for a single property of the object or the element of an array. take the below example :

{
    "title": "Sample JSON Schema",
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
    "type": "object",
    "definitions": {
        "propObjectType1" : {
            "name": "string",
            "age": "number"
        },
        "propObjectType2" : {
            "name": "string",
            "dob": {
                "type": "string",
                "pattern": "\\d\\d\/\\d\\d\/\\d\\d\\d\\d"
            }
        }
    },
    "properties": {
        "prop1": {
            "type": "string",
            "maxLength": 64
        },
        "prop2": {
            "anyOf": [
                {
                    "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType1"
                },
                {
                    "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType2"
                }
            ] 
        },
        "prop3": {
            "oneOf": [
                {
                    "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType1"
                },
                {
                    "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType2"
                }
            ] 
        },
        "prop4Array": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "oneOf": [
                    {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType1"
                    },
                    {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType2"
                    }
                ] 
            }       
        },
        "prop5Array": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "anyOf": [
                    {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType1"
                    },
                    {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/propObjectType2"
                    }
                ] 
            }       
        }
    }
}

So in the above definition the prop2 and prop3 are the same (you can use interchangeably anyOf or oneOf) and you can define what ever you are comfortable with. but, in case of array:

  1. when you use anyOf for the items type, the elements can be of any type out of those and the array can contain the mixed items. Means you can have one item of type 1 and another item of type 2.
  2. when you use oneOf for the items type, the elements can be of any type out of those and the array can contain only one type of items. Means all the items must be of the same type (either type 1 or type 2).

If you look at the JSON Schema documentation, it says:

anyOf:

...

An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against at least one schema defined by this keyword's value. Note that when annotations are being collected, all subschemas MUST be examined so that annotations are collected from each subschema that validates successfully.

oneOf:

...

An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against exactly one schema defined by this keyword's value.

Note my emphasis in the above. anyOf means the item must validate against at least one (but possibly more than one) of the schemas. oneOf means it must validate against only one of the schemas.
