The empty schema is a valid hyper-schema, as all schema keywords are optional,
and simply has no effect. No hyperlinks are applied by default. The following

Maybe this should be a new paragraph, to show we've moved on from "no links is fine.

Here are some links"

I went back and forth on that a couple of time. Let's see what @dlax (or anyone else who wants to jump in) says :-)

Reading your comment I'm leaning towards splitting it, but like I said, back and forth...

I think I'm missing the purpose of the first two sentences. And I'm not sure I get what you want to split off either :(

Why not simply have the third sentence phrased as "Here is an example of JSON Hyper-Schema with a single link, ..."? No need to mention it's minimal or non-trivial, I think.

(Apart from this, this looks good to me.)

@dlax I like the simplification idea. The empty schema is covered elsewhere, and you're right that the non-trivial/minimal language wasn't adding anything important.

I've updated this with a shorter caption now. @philsturgeon does this look OK to you?

fairly minimal non-trivial hyper-schema shows a single link, with the
IANA-registered link relation type "self", that is build from the lone object
field in the instance:

"id": {

"links": [

"rel": "self",
"href": "thing/{id}"
}
]
}]]>

If the instance is {"id": 1234}, and its base URI according to
<xref target="RFC3986">RFC 3986 section 5.1</xref>, is
"https://api.example.com/", then "https://api.example.com/thing/1234"
is the resulting link's target URI.
