# Frictionless Table Schema (`frictionless`)

Open specification from the Frictionless Data project for describing tabular data in JSON. A schema lists fields, each with a type and an optional format; the specification defines string formats for email addresses, URIs, UUIDs and base64 binary data, plus date and time types, years, year-months, durations, geographic points and GeoJSON. Implementations such as frictionless-py use the declared type to validate and cast values. It describes columns, it does not detect types. The supported types cover only registry datatypes that match a documented type.
