+"""Schema processing for discovery based APIs
+
+Schemas holds an APIs discovery schemas. It can return those schema as
+deserialized JSON objects, or pretty print them as prototype objects that
+conform to the schema.
+
+For example, given the schema:
+
+ schema = \"\"\"{
+   "Foo": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+     "etag": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "ETag of the collection."
+     },
+     "kind": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "Type of the collection ('calendar#acl').",
+      "default": "calendar#acl"
+     },
+     "nextPageToken": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "Token used to access the next
+         page of this result. Omitted if no further results are available."
+     }
+    }
+   }
+ }\"\"\"
+
+ s = Schemas(schema)
+ print s.prettyPrintByName('Foo')
+
+ Produces the following output:
+
+  {
+   "nextPageToken": "A String", # Token used to access the
+       # next page of this result. Omitted if no further results are available.
+   "kind": "A String", # Type of the collection ('calendar#acl').
+   "etag": "A String", # ETag of the collection.
+  },
+
+The constructor takes a discovery document in which to look up named schema.
