/**
 * Simple tag interface used to mark schema objects that are used by some
 * {@link JsonParser} and {@link JsonGenerator} implementations to further
 * specify structure of expected format.
 * Basic JSON-based parsers and generators do not use schemas, but some data
 * formats (like many binary data formats like Thrift, protobuf) mandate
 * use of schemas.
 *

* Since there is little commonality between schemas for different data formats, * this interface does not define much meaningful functionality for accessing * schema details; rather, specific parser and generator implementations need * to cast to schema implementations they use. This marker interface is mostly * used for tagging "some kind of schema" -- instead of passing opaque * {@link java.lang.Object} -- for documentation purposes. */ public interface FormatSchema { /** * Method that can be used to get an identifier that can be used for diagnostics * purposes, to indicate what kind of data format this schema is used for: typically * it is a short name of format itself, but it can also contain additional information * in cases where data format supports multiple types of schemas. */ String getSchemaType(); }
