Clear and concise description of the problem

I'm looking for a an easy and dev-friendly way to split up my big language JSON files into multiple files. One possible solution could be to have support for JSON-Schemas $ref.

Imagine the following directory structure:

• en.json
• en/CategoryA.json
• en/CategoryB.json

en.json would just contain:

{
  "CategoryA": { "$ref": "en/CategoryA.json"},
  "CategoryB": { "$ref": "en/CategoryB.json"}
}

See: http://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/structuring.html#ref

What you think? Could this be an interesting feature to add?

Suggested solution

probably somewhere in the message-compiler module? :smile:
