Recursive references with "$ref" in OpenAPI file lead to endless substitutions of "$ref" pointers with relevant definitions entry. It prevents the use of some parts of OpenAPI file. In case "$ref" reference used under "schema" entry such reference may stay as is and not dereferenced. It prevents problem of recursive references.

Impact

Parts of OpenAPI file which include "$ref" entry will be processed properly.

Conditions

No special conditions.
