How can I resolve all references in a schema?

[Zac-HD]

I would like to take a schema that may have local or remote references, and return an equivalent schema that does not use any references at all. This would be really useful for hypothesis-jsonschema, but I have no idea how to do it with RefResolver - I can't tell from the docs whether this is even something it should do.

Maybe related to python-jsonschema/referencing#3? Any advice would be appreciated - I'd also be happy to e.g. ban remote references or local ids if that would help. I sketched an idea for the quick-and-dirty on python-jsonschema/hypothesis-jsonschema#6 but would prefer an upstream implementation if possible 😄

Will respond with more detail but probably related to #419 (and the latter is "doable" but not as easy as it should be so yeah definitely up for improvements here)

@Zac-HD if you don't specifically need it to be in Python, you might take a look at JSON Schema Ref Parser.

Hmm, but this can't be doable for recursive references, right?

Depends on your perspective - Python containers can contain themselves, so it would be perfectly possible to represent recursive schemas without an explicit $ref keyword.

It's probably more ergonomic to only resolve the non-recursive references though, since that would make it trivial to construct a DOS attack against naive code.

Recursive references are also - while not especially rare - less common than simple references, so non-recursive resolution would still be very helpful incremental step 😄

Closing in favor of python-jsonschema/hypothesis-jsonschema#28, since the canonicalisation I want isn't really useful for validators.
