JSON Type Definitions and References
Q
How to define a JSON type and reference it in JSON Schema?

A
If you want to define a JSON type, and reference it later in your JSON Schema,
you can:
1. Name your JSON type can put it inside the "definitions" property. For example, "rating" as a JSON type can be defined as shown below:
{
"definitions": {
"rating": {
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 0,
"maximum": 5
}
},
...
}
2. Use "$ref" instead of "type" property to refer to a previously defined JSON type. For example, the following JSON schema defines a JSON Object that should have two properties with the same JSON type "rating":
{
...
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"clarity": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/rating"
},
"efficiency": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/rating"
}
}
}
