Possible internal reference resolution issue about ex_json_schema HOT 4 OPEN

I have seen this when attempting to $ref to an id that has a local pointer such as "#uuid".

from ex_json_schema.

FWIW i worked around this issue by modifying the schema document i'm parsing by:

• replacing the properties property at the top level w/ definitions to follow best practices,
• replacing all $ref property values to be of the form #/definitions/xxx,
• removing any id property present at the top level of referenced schema definitions.

w/ those changes the schema is parsed correctly and i'm able to validate against it.

from ex_json_schema.

local references to id of definitions does not appear to work.

Thanks for reporting this, I will have to look into it. To be honest, the whole part about using ids to change the resolution scope and referencing to them is the most confusing part about the whole specification for me. No idea yet how easy this would be to fix.
