Yes. In fact that's a simpler use case than using a definitions block. Did you try it out and face some difficulty?

Hi all,

I'm aware the if you want to define an Array of custom JSON objects, you can do it this way:

{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "Product",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"description": "The unique identifier for a product",
"type": "integer"
},
"tags": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/tagObj"
}
}
}
"definitions" : {
      "tagObj" : {
          "properties" : {
              "tagInfo" : { "type" : "string" },
              "tagInfo2" : { "type" : "string" }
          }
      }
}
}

But instead of having an explicit definition and a reference to it, can you directly define the custom JSON object inline this way?:

{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "Product",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"description": "The unique identifier for a product",
"type": "integer"
},
"tags": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"tagInfo" : { "type" : "string" },
"tagInfo2" : { "type" : "string" }
}
}
}
}
}

Thanks!

Generally speaking, if it works as expected in fge's validator, it's legal syntax. https://json-schema-validator.herokuapp.com/

No. I think I didn't find any such examples, so just wanted to double check.
Thanks!
