Allow in-schema references ?

[JulienPalard]

Context: I'm using https://github.com/Julian/jsonschema to validate my API, and I'm trying to generate doc using prmd.

In jsonschema I have hard times to use absolute imports, so I'm using relative imports like just {"$ref": "user.json"} and it works like a charm, it's simple, short to type, nice.

But it looks like in prmd I have use full paths like {"$ref": "/schemata/user.json#/definitions/login"} which is a bit verbose. I understand you don't want to mess with relative imports like {"$ref": "user.json#/definitions/login"} or like {"$ref": "../user.json#/definitions/login"} but why not just allowing {"$ref": "#/definitions/login"} ? Seems a legitimate syntax, simple and readable, and not ambiguous.

@JulienPalard I think it is probably just coincidental that it is this way, based on how we have load paths and stuff, but I'm not certain. I'd certainly be up for revisiting if you wanted to experiment with the code and see if you could get that working. Thanks!

Argh, sry, I won't be able to "experiment with the code", I don't want to learn perl today, sry for that :-( (I try to learn a language a year, but didn't learnt perl yet :-P nothing religious here). If someone read this issue, you can try it, but don't wait for me to do it :-P

@JulienPalard fair enough (though it should be Ruby instead of perl).

No worries!
