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.
Others like CSV and Java Properties may optionally use schemas (and/or use simple
default schema to use if caller does not specify one) which specifies
some aspects of structuring content.
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
java. -- for documentation purposes.
