    Price: float
    Public: bool
    CreatedAt: datetime
    Location: geo
    Types: array
    Authoer: key
    Image: [blob, noindex]
    Info: [embed, noindex]
    Empty: "null"

Directly Specified Types

The types of properties can be specified in entities section.

scheme:
  kind: Book

entities:
  - Title:
      __string__: "Brave New World"
      __noindex__: true

    CreatedAt:
      __datetime__: "1932-01-01"

    Sort:
      __int__: 100

    Price:
      __float__: 18.38

    Public:
      __bool__: true

    Authoer:
      __key__: [ class, HumanKind, author, "Aldous Huxley" ]

    Location:
      __geo__: [51.507222, -0.1275]

The order of detecting typs

scheme:
  kind: Book
  properties:
    Title: string
    Sort: int

entities:
  - Title: "Brave New World"
    Sort: 
      __int__: 100
    CreatedAt:
      __datetime__: "1932-01-01"

The order of detecting types is Directly Specified Types > Scheme Specified Types > Automatically Detected Types.

• if Directly Specified Types exists (like Sort), Scheme Specified Types is ignored.
• if Directly Specified Types is not exists, the type of value is detected in scheme section.
• if Directly Specified Types and Scheme Specified Types are not exists, the type of value is automatically detected.
