items is for validating arrays, properties is for validating objects.

The value of items must be a JSON Schema object or an array JSON Schema objects (let's ignore if it's an array for now). The array that the items key word is applicable to, passes validation if all items in that array validate against the schema.

The value of properties must be an object. Each value in the object must be a json schema. The schemas in the object are applied to the instance object when the keys match.
