+/// # Schema Node
+///
+/// This is used to create a schema that is used in the [`ValueDisplay`] component. It stores all
+/// required information for the display, specifically where to find the data and how to display it.
+/// It covers all `ValueType` variants, however for data storage and DX it uses a `SchemaType`
+/// instead.
+///
+/// Some examples are as follows, using the fluent builder notation:
+///  - Displaying a single `ValueType::String` from the data map at the key `example_one`:
+///     ```
+///     SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::String).header("The example string")
+///     ```
+///  - Displaying a `ValueType::List` which contains only `ValueType::String` entries:
+///     ```
+///     SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::List)
+///         .header("The example list")
+///         .item_template(SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::String).header(""))
+///     ```
+///  - Displaying a `ValueType::Map` which contains a name and age:
+///     ```
+///     SchemaType::new(SchemaType::Map)
+///         .header("The example map")
+///         .child("first_name", SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::String).header("First Name:"))
+///         .child("age", SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::Number).header("Age:"))
+///     ```
+///  - Put it all together: a `ValueType::List` which contains `ValueType::Map` entries, each of
+///    which also contains the name and age from the previous example:
+///     ```
+///     SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::List)
+///         .header("The example map list")
+///         .item_template(
+///             SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::Map)
+///                 .header("The example map from earlier")
+///                 .child("first_name", SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::String).header("First Name:"))
+///                 .child("age", SchemaNode::new(SchemaType::Number).header("Age:"))
+///         )
+///     ```
+///
+/// This schema allows for definitive typing and styling for every level of the data display.
+///
+/// ## Important Notes
+///
+/// This schema does not currently support display of a single nested member, like a single map
+/// within a list. This means that you will have to display any listed or mapped information as a
+/// list. Consider this when designing the data.
