Is JSON Schema Normative?

A decision should be made about whether the JSON schema is normative.

Whether the JSON Schema is normative or not the situation should be clarified in the spec.

[Joseph Heenan]

I think I probably suggest that it’s made normative (on the grounds that I believe it contains worthwhile extra restrictions that aren’t explicitly stated in the spec), but that it is made clear that if the text in the spec conflicts with the schema, then the spec text is more important.

[Joseph Heenan]

(and also we use the json schema in the conformance tests, with requests/responses not passing the schema validation causing test failures, so it would be problematic if the schema was not considered normative)

Intent for Mark to draft wording around : “draft is prime - schema is normative with exceptions”
