## Profile Info Types

Profile info type schemas.

### Building your own type

Your type schema needs to have `url`, `name`, `description`, `version`, and `content` keys. `content` holds all your custom data keys.

  "name": "Relationship Status",
  "description": "Publish your relationship status",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "content": {
    "status": "single",
    "interested_in": ["women"],
    "looking_for": ["friendship", "networking", "random play"]
  }
}
```
