Override JsonSchema.toString() about json-everything

[gregsdennis]

Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad that the library is working well for you.

Converting a JsonSchema to a string isn't something that really fits in a .ToString() method. It requires serialization:

var condensed = JsonSerializer.Serialize(schema);
var indented = JsonSerializer.Serialize(schema, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true };

Typically you want .ToString() to remain fairly simple and quick.

In regard to adding references with the fluent syntax, the best way is to just call the .Ref() extension method with a string reference:

var internalRefSchema = new JsonSchemaBuilder()
    .Defs(("myObj", new JsonSchemaBuilder().Type(SchemaValueType.Object)))
    .Ref("#/$defs/myObj")
    .Build();
var externalRefSchema = new JsonSchemaBuilder()
    .Ref("https://myserver.org/schema/myschema.json")
    .Build();

I haven't figured out a way to do a definition and a reference in such a way that it's compile-time checked. You're just going to need to be sure that your strings are right.

For more fluent usage example, you can look at the code for the meta-schemas.

Many thanks for that. Both of your suggestions worked for me.
