# Primitive Schemas

Reusable schemas for common data types

Canonical URL: https://docs.paradoc.dev/schemas/primitives/

Primitives are schemas that are used to represent common data types such as people or addresses.

These are defined in Paradoc as schemas to encourage re-use and consistency across library implementations.
