incompatible with angular >= 6.0.0

Subject of the issue

Because json-schema-ref-parser requires node http & https, it cannot be used in Angular applications that use angular-cli >= 6.0.0

See this comment from angular-cli: angular/angular-cli#9827 (comment)

Your environment

angular>= 6.0

Expected behavior

I can use json-schema-ref-parser in my app and ng serve does not fail

Actual behavior

ng serve fails with

ERROR in ./node_modules/json-schema-ref-parser/lib/resolvers/http.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'http' in '/Users/web/container-web/node_modules/json-schema-ref-parser/lib/resolvers'
ERROR in ./node_modules/json-schema-ref-parser/lib/resolvers/http.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'https' in '/Users/web/container-web/node_modules/json-schema-ref-parser/lib/resolvers'

i got it working, add this to package.json & reinstall:

"browser": { "http": false, "https": false }

and add this to polyfill.ts

(window as any).process = require('process/browser');
(window as any).global = window;

For those who don’t require resolution of external references, it shouldn’t be a requirement at all to load any http module, which causes needless bundle bloat. It should be optional.
