        Currently, the following data types are supported:

            - length is measured in UTF-8 character number after json parsing
            - *Warning*: too large difference between min_length and max_length can lead to enormous memory consumption!
            - pattern is mutually exclusive with min_length and max_length
            - pattern will be compiled to a regular expression so all caveats of regular expressions apply
            - pattern currently is automatically anchored at both ends
            - the generated json could be invalid if the pattern allows invalid content between the json string's quotes.
              - for example, `pattern=".*"` will allow '\"' to appear in the json string which is forbidden by JSON standard.
          - also supports substring_of constraint which constrains the string to be a substring of a given string
            - the generated json could be invalid if the given string contains invalid content when put into the json string's quotes.
              - for example, `substring_of="abc\""` will allow '\"' to appear in the json string which is forbidden by JSON standard.
        - NoneType
        - typing.Any
        - Subclasses of collections.abc.Mapping[str,T] and typing.Mapping[str,T] where T is a supported type,
        - Subclasses of collections.abc.Sequence[T] and typing.Sequence[T] where T is a supported type.
          - optionally with `minItems`, `maxItems`, `prefixItems` constraints
          - *Warning*: too large difference between minItems and maxItems can lead to very slow performance!
          - *Warning*: By json schema definition, prefixItems by default allows additional items and missing items in the prefixItems, which may not be the desired behavior and can lead to very slow performance if prefixItems is long!
        - tuple[T1,T2,...] where T1,T2,... are supported types. The order, type and number of elements will be preserved.
        - typing.Literal[x1,x2,...] where x1, x2, ... are instances of int, string, bool or NoneType, or another typing.Literal[y1,y2,...]
        - typing.Union[T1,T2,...] where T1,T2,... are supported types.
        - schemas.Schema where all its fields' data types are supported. Recursive schema definitions are supported as well.
          - *Warning*: while not required field is supported, they can lead to very slow performance and/or enormous memory consumption if there are too many of them!
