What problem does it solve?

Zod provides runtime validation with automatic TypeScript type inference. Define the schema once and get both validation and types.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Schema definition with z.object, z.infer for types, and parse/safeParse for validating input data.
• Pattern composition and extension: merging, picking, omitting, and discriminated unions to model complex data shapes.
• Error handling and transformation: safeParse, format, and flatten for user-friendly error reporting, plus transform/coerce for data shaping.
• Use cases across domains: validating API payloads, validating form inputs, and ensuring data integrity in domain models.
• Real-world example: define a UserSchema with id, name, email, age, and status, infer a User type, validate input, and handle errors.

Quick Start

Install zod, define a base schema, infer TypeScript types, and validate data at runtime.
