Property defaulting to `required` and support `optional` using SchemaProperty in property list?

[Sajjon]

Right now there is a code duplication in the specs, e.g. take a look at user.json example, where almost all property names occurs inside "properties" dictionary and also inside the "required" array.

Maybe whether or not a property is required/optional information can be included in the SchemaProperty? So for user.json it would change from:

{
  "title": "User",
  "type": "object",
  "description": "Definition of a User",
  "identifier": "id",
  "properties": {
    "id": {"type": "integer"},
    "full_name": {"type": "string"},
    "email": {"type": "string"},
    "timezone": {"type": "string"},
    "current_company_id": {"type": "integer"},
    "created_at": {"type": "string", "format": "date"},
    "companies": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {"$ref": "company.json"}
    },
    "avatar": {"$ref": "avatar.json"}
  },
  "required": ["id", "full_name", "email", "current_company_id", "created_at", "companies", "avatar"]
}

to:

{
  "title": "User",
  "type": "object",
  "description": "Definition of a User",
  "identifier": "id",
  "properties": {
    "id": {"type": "integer"},
    "full_name": {"type": "string"},
    "email": {"type": "string"},
    "timezone": {"type": "string", "optional": true },
    "current_company_id": {"type": "integer"},
    "created_at": {"type": "string", "format": "date"},
    "companies": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {"$ref": "company.json"}
    },
    "avatar": {"$ref": "avatar.json"}
  }}

Without any code duplication! Or am I missing something crucial here?

So, this is following the JSON-Schema specs http://json-schema.org/examples.html

@hebertialmeida Okay thanks! I guess I do not like the json-schema format then :D
