============== Zope 3 Schemas ==============

Introduction ------------

Schemas extend the notion of interfaces to detailed descriptions of Attributes (but not methods). Every schema is an interface and specifies the public fields of an object. A field roughly corresponds to an attribute of a python object. But a Field provides space for at least a title and a description. It can also constrain its value and provide a validation method. Besides you can optionally specify characteristics such as its value being read-only or not required.

Zope 3 schemas were born when Jim Fulton and Martijn Faassen thought about Formulator for Zope 3 and PropertySets while at the Zope 3 sprint at the Zope BBQ in Berlin. They realized that if you strip all view logic from forms then you have something similar to interfaces. And thus schemas were born.
