# Simple partial example

Partials are schemas that contain just a definitions section. The definitions in a partial can be used in multiple schemas.

This schema snippet is a simple partial definition for a "person" object with string properties for name and address.

## Pre-requisites

To use the definitions in this partial, you must create the schema on your hub. Partials are not registered.

## How to use

You can use this definition in another schema as follows:

```json
"person":{
        "allOf": [
            { "$ref": "https://schema-examples.com/simple-partial#/definitions/person" }
        ]
    }
```

    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
