schemaFromVar

Use the field names and data types in a NEON variables file to create an arrow schema.

NEON data packages can be accessed through the NEON Data Portal <https://www.neonscience.org>
or through the NEON Data API (see <https://data.neonscience.org/data-api> for documentation). Data delivered from
the Data Portal are provided as monthly zip files packaged within a parent zip file, while individual files
can be accessed from the API. This package provides tools that aid in discovering, downloading, and reformatting
data prior to use in analyses. This includes downloading data via the API, merging data tables by type, and
converting formats. For more information, see the readme file at <https://github.com/NEONScience/NEON-utilities>.
