The root schema may contain a definition container, this holds the definitions for named schemas that can then be referenced within the schema.
This provides a mechanism for re-use and extensibility within the Json Schema.
It is good practice to define any commonly used data types here and then reference them.
It is allowable for a definition to contain references to other definitions (and even itself).
Prior to draft 2019-09 definitions were defined in the 'definitions' property, from draft 2019-09 that has been renamed '$defs'.
