 *
 * @example (basic string):

 *   format: "email",
 *   maxLength: 255,
 *   minLength: 5
 * };
 * ```
 *
 * @example (string with enum):
 * ```ts
 * const stringSchema: StringSchema = {
 *   type: "string",
 *   enum: ["active", "inactive", "pending"]
 * };
 * ```
 *
 * @example (string with pattern):
