JSON Editor meta-schema

This issue was addressed without success previously #52

The JSON-Editor uses a schema to structure the editor.

The schema adheres to the JSON Meta-Schema [1]

The JSON Editor adds some properties the JSON Meta-Schema (such as format attribute). I suspect it may not reflect some JSON Meta-Schema properties.

Also, when the schema element of the JSON-editor is populated with the JSON Meta-Schema, the editor control is empty, and unusable. This would be fixed by having a default object, with a default name.

I’d propose that this new document be called the JSON-Editor Meta-Schema

The presence of a JSON-Editor Meta-Schema would mean that power users would be able to create schemas for new document types without having to understand JSON.

As an example of the refinements, Ideally the JSON-Editor Meta-Schema would use $ref keywords to ensure that the list of required properties were actually present in the document. It would also make use of grid and table format attributes to display the data in a compact manner.

Has anybody addressed this issue?

BTW, @schmunk42 - I just went to your profile page, to see if your email address was listed. I was going to invite you to apply to take on the task. I couldn’t find one.

I’ve just enabled one 😉
