## Modules

- [Peri](Peri.md): 
Peri is a data description library for Elixir, in the spirit of Clojure's
Plumatic Schema and Metosin's Malli. A schema is plain Elixir data: atoms
like `:string`, literals like `{:literal, 42}`, tuples, maps, keyword lists,
composed however the data demands. There is no separate DSL to learn; the
schema language is Elixir itself. Peri is data, Peri is Elixir.
- [Peri.Ecto.Type](Peri.Ecto.Type.md): Responsible to convert between Peri <> Ecto types definitions
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.Any](Peri.Ecto.Type.Any.md): Represents any type. Passes data to Cassandra as is.
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.Atom](Peri.Ecto.Type.Atom.md): Custom Ecto type for storing atoms as strings
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.Either](Peri.Ecto.Type.Either.md): Custom Ecto type for storing either of two types
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.OneOf](Peri.Ecto.Type.OneOf.md): Custom Ecto type for storing one of many types, aka sum types
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.PID](Peri.Ecto.Type.PID.md): Custom Ecto type for storing PIDs, use with caution
- [Peri.Ecto.Type.Tuple](Peri.Ecto.Type.Tuple.md): Custom Ecto type for storing tuples with multiple types/elements
- [Peri.Form](Peri.Form.md): A form-ready struct holding Peri validation results.
- [Peri.Generatable](Peri.Generatable.md): A module for generating sample data based on Peri schemas using StreamData.
- [Peri.JSONSchema.Decoder](Peri.JSONSchema.Decoder.md): Decodes a JSON Schema (Draft 7) map into a Peri schema definition.
- [Peri.JSONSchema.Encoder](Peri.JSONSchema.Encoder.md): Encodes a Peri schema definition into a JSON Schema (Draft 7) map.
- [Peri.Parser](Peri.Parser.md): The `Peri.Parser` module is responsible for managing the state during schema validation. 
It centralizes functions to handle updating data, adding errors, and managing the path within 
the data structure being validated.
- [Peri.Phoenix](Peri.Phoenix.md): Bridges Peri schemas and Phoenix forms.
- [Peri.Walker](Peri.Walker.md): Depth-first schema rewriter.

- Exceptions
  - [Peri.Error](Peri.Error.md): Defines the structure and functions for handling validation errors in the Peri schema validation library.
  - [Peri.InvalidSchema](Peri.InvalidSchema.md): Exception raised when an invalid schema is encountered.
