Zod: TypeScript-First Schema Validation
Zod creates a single source of truth for your data's shape, providing both runtime validation and static TypeScript type inference from one definition. Use it to parse API inputs or form data, ensuring data is correct and typed.
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema validation library that acts as a single source of truth for your data's shape. You define a schema once (e.g., `z.object({ name: z.string() })`) and get both runtime validation and static type inference. It's perfect for validating API inputs or form submissions, eliminating the need to maintain separate types and validation logic. The main footgun is that `.parse()` throws an error on invalid data, which can crash your app if not handled in a try/catch block.
