- Method Detail
  - type
```
public final R type(Schema schema)
```
    Use the schema provided as the type.
  - type
```
public final R type(String name)
```
    Look up the type by name. This type must be previously defined in the context of this builder.
    The name may be fully qualified or a short name. If it is a short name, the default namespace of the current context will additionally be searched.
  - type
```
public final R type(String name,
     String namespace)
```
    Look up the type by name and namespace. This type must be previously defined in the context of this builder.
    The name may be fully qualified or a short name. If it is a fully qualified name, the namespace provided is ignored. If it is a short name, the namespace provided is used if not null, else the default namespace of the current context will be used.
  - booleanType
```
public final R booleanType()
```
    A plain boolean type without custom properties. This is equivalent to:
```
 booleanBuilder().endBoolean();
 
```

```
public final R doubleType()
```
    A plain double type without custom properties. This is equivalent to:
```
 doubleBuilder().endDouble();
 
```
  - doubleBuilder
```
public final SchemaBuilder.DoubleBuilder<R> doubleBuilder()
```
    Build a double type that can set custom properties. If custom properties are not needed it is simpler to use doubleType().
  - stringType
```
public final R stringType()
```

```
 stringBuilder().endString();
 
```
  - stringBuilder
```
public final SchemaBuilder.StringBldr<R> stringBuilder()
```
    Build a string type that can set custom properties. If custom properties are not needed it is simpler to use stringType().
  - bytesType

```
 nullBuilder().endNull();
 
```
  - nullBuilder
```
public final SchemaBuilder.NullBuilder<R> nullBuilder()

public final SchemaBuilder.FixedBuilder<R> fixed(String name)
```
    Build an Avro fixed type. Example usage:
```
 fixed("com.foo.IPv4").size(4)

```
  - enumeration
```
public final SchemaBuilder.EnumBuilder<R> enumeration(String name)
```
    Build an Avro enum type. Example usage:
```
 enumeration("Suits").namespace("org.cards").doc("card suit names")
   .symbols("HEART", "SPADE", "DIAMOND", "CLUB")
 
```
    Equivalent to Avro JSON Schema:
```
 {"type":"enum", "name":"Suits", "namespace":"org.cards",
  "doc":"card suit names", "symbols":[
    "HEART", "SPADE", "DIAMOND", "CLUB"]}
 
```
  - record
```
public final SchemaBuilder.RecordBuilder<R> record(String name)
```
    Build an Avro record type. Example usage:
```
 record("com.foo.Foo").fields()
   .name("field1").typeInt().intDefault(1)
   .name("field2").typeString().noDefault()
   .name("field3").optional().typeFixed("FooFixed").size(4)
   .endRecord()
 
```
