Visual Guide — Schema Colors

The tree uses color-coding to help identify type categories:

• Primitives (blue) — Scalar types: int, string, boolean, bytes, etc. Can have logical types (date, timestamp, decimal, uuid).
• Complex Types (brown) — Structured types: record, enum, fixed, array, map. Allow nesting and composition.
• Unions (gold) — Choice types: field can be multiple types. Useful for optional fields or polymorphism.
