Is there a way to get the column data type in pyspark?

Question

Has been discussed that the way to find the column datatype in pyspark is using df.dtypes get datatype of column using pyspark. The problem with this is that for datatypes like an array or struct you get something like array<string> or array<integer>.

Just use schema:

df.schema[column_name].dataType
