public interface FormatSchema
JsonParser and 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
Object -- for documentation purposes.

getSchemaType()
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.
