Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. It allows developers to define data schemas using a fluent API and perform type-safe runtime validation of data objects. Zod provides a simple and intuitive way to ensure data integrity and validate input/output data against predefined schemas.
Compared to other validation libraries like Yup or Joi, Zod offers better TypeScript integration and type inference, making it easier to catch type-related errors during development. Zod is actively maintained with regular updates and improvements, ensuring compatibility with the latest TypeScript features.
