Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Zod to validate data structures in your TypeScript and JavaScript applications. It lets you define schemas for everything from simple strings to complex nested objects, then validate untrusted data against those schemas. Zod automatically infers TypeScript types from your schemas, so you get both runtime validation and compile-time type safety. It works in Node.js and browsers, has zero dependencies, and includes features like custom error messages, JSON Schema conversion, and metadata support.
