This artifact provides diagnostic functionality for outlining the structure of nested elements, supporting debugging, documentation or specification where needed throughout the REFCODES.ORG toolkit. Any class implementing the Schemable interface must provide a Schema tree outlining its internal construction which can be used for diagnostics by printing the structure in a JSON alike notation (as of Schema.toString() method)

The types with which this artifact's codes work usually are represented by interfaces (as of interface based programming).

Class	Description
JsonVisitor	The JsonVisitor is a SchemaVisitor producing a JSON String when visiting a Schema structure.
JsonVisitor.JsonMode	The Enum JsonMode.
Schema	A Schema describes a nested data structure (having 0..n Schema children) whilst not being the data structure itself.
Schemable	The Schemable mixin provides means for a data structure to describe itself.
SchemaVisitor<T>	Any visitor traversing a Schema instance via the Schema.visit(SchemaVisitor) method must accept the results produced by visiting the children of the Schema instance (as of Schema.getChildren()) and provide a consolidated result from the children's result and the currently visited Schema instance as of the method SchemaVisitor.visit(Schema, Collection).The SchemaVisitor is a functional interface (similar to the BiFunction interface though as of semantic reasons and documentation means provided as a dedicated interface).
XmlVisitor	The XmlVisitor is a SchemaVisitor producing an XML String when visiting a Schema structure.
