JSON Schema - Recursive Schema Definition

Question

I have a JSON Schema

{
    \'description\': \'TPNode\',
    \'type\': \'object\',
    \'id\': \'tp_node\',
    \'properties\': {
        \'selector\': {
             


        

Answer 1

Yes, your schema will work. The "$ref": "#" points back to the root of the schema document.

However, the "type": "object" is useless:

{
    'type': 'object',
    '$ref': '#'
}

If $ref is present, then all other keywords are ignored. It would be better to remove type from the #/properties/children/items schema.
