Enhancement description

Hello,

According to the official documentation of JSON Schema , the standardized place to put subschemas should be "$defs", it is not currently supported by the library (it seems to only support "definitions" section)

[OptimumCode]

Hi, @jrhok. The library supports $defs for schema drafts 2019-09 and 2020-12 (draft 7 supports only definitions property). Could you please advise which version of the library you are using and which draft you use for your schema?

[jrhok]

Oh ! Sorry, I did not notice that draft 7 did not support $defs, thank you, I close the issue

No worries, you are welcome)
The $defs keyword was added in the draft 2019-09. This is why the library does not support this keyword for drafts before 2019-09.
Also, I would suggest using the latest draft (2020-12) as it is better in some ways than the older drafts (if it is possible in your case of course)
