Runtypes is a library for runtime type checking in JavaScript and TypeScript. It allows you to define and enforce complex data types at runtime, providing robust validation for your application's inputs and outputs. With Runtypes, you can easily create type schemas, validate data against these schemas, and ensure type safety throughout your codebase.

Compared to other type-checking libraries like PropTypes or TypeScript's static type system, Runtypes offers dynamic runtime validation, making it particularly useful for scenarios where data shapes are not known until runtime. It provides a flexible and expressive way to define and validate data structures in a concise and readable manner.
