Reference a schema defined elsewhere.
The $ref Keyword is easiest to learn by reading the example, changing it, and observing the result.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"status": { "$ref": "#/$defs/status" }
},
"$defs": {
"status": { "type": "string", "enum": ["draft", "published"] }
}
}Practice the The $ref Keyword example in a small scratch file, then explain what changed and why.
