io-ts: Detailed Overview & Metrics
io-ts is a powerful TypeScript library for runtime type checking and validation. It allows you to define complex data structures as TypeScript types and provides runtime validation to ensure data integrity and consistency. io-ts supports both simple and advanced type definitions, including intersections, unions, arrays, objects, and more.
Compared to other validation libraries like Yup or Joi, io-ts leverages the TypeScript type system to provide static type checking at compile time and runtime validation during execution. This dual approach helps catch type errors early in the development process and ensures data correctness at runtime.
