Library version	master

As a maintainer of json-schema I was looking at our top dependent libraries in order to do some smoke testing for the upcoming v6 release. I was surprised to see there was no code related to json-schema in this repo although it being on of the top dependants (No.3 if you count by number of ⭐ ).

Timeline

🔍 After some puzzling I found the following timeline and reason why we are still left with json-schema as a dependency.

• 2019-06-08: PR#169 adds composer/composer as a dependency, this is the first time justinrainbow/json-schema is installed (verified with composer why justinrainbow/json-schema on 5d0e1af
• 2020-01-30: PR#342 adds justinrainbow/json-schema in order to pin the required version to avoid conflicts.
• 2022-04-29: PR#575 removes composer/composer as a dependency
• 2024-07-15: f476219 justinrainbow/json-schema is still a first class dependency

Current output on my fork of master

$ composer why justinrainbow/json-schema
nunomaduro/phpinsights dev-master requires justinrainbow/json-schema (^5.2.13)

$ git rev-parse --short HEAD 
f476219

Why no PR?

At this time I don't have the time to draft a PR but rather took the time to create a decent report making this for a "Good first issue"
