[Feature request]: Compatibility with draft 2020-12

[M-casado]

Summary

As the JSON Schemas community evolves, the latest draft 2020-12 (5 years old!) is increasingly being used. There are not that many new features in this draft, but as it is, Biovalidator is incompatible with it.

This feature request is for Biovalidator to be compatible with the latest drafts. Ideally this would be done and maintained for every new draft of JSON Schemas.

Request motivation

I'm trying to reference JSON Schemas from other resources, but if they use the draft/2020-12, Biovalidator hangs when the schemas are being returned.

Use cases

• Using draft/2020-12 natively in one's schemas
• Referencing draft/2020-12 in other schemas

Examples

With a $ref to a JSON Schema draft/2020-12, it should return the schema and store it in cache as it does with earlier drafts.

Additional context

As of now, the logs of Biovalidator show the following:

In the terminal where I had Biovalidator deployed, it simply hung at the "fetching schema reference ..." step, over and over again.
