SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

ArkType provides a fast, TypeScript-friendly approach to runtime validation by writing schemas in a syntax-first format, enabling zero-drift types and high performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Syntax-first schemas that read like TypeScript for straightforward validation
  • JIT-compiled validators deliver 10x-100x performance gains on large datasets
  • Morphs enable in-line data transformation during validation
  • Standard Schema compatibility for seamless integration with modern tooling
  • Supports recursion and scopes for complex domain models

Quick Start

Define a schema using ArkType syntax and pass your data to validate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate API data in TypeScript without type drift?

Use syntax-first schemas to validate API data and ensure zero-drift type inference in TypeScript. Schemas read like native TypeScript types, providing immediate runtime validation and static type checking simultaneously without manual type duplication.

What is the best way to get high-performance runtime validation for large datasets?

JIT-compiled validators deliver 10x-100x performance gains for large dataset validation. Applying just-in-time compilation to schema checks ensures high-performance runtime validation suitable for demanding production environments processing heavy data payloads.

Can I transform data shapes automatically during TypeScript runtime validation?

Morphs enable in-line data transformation during TypeScript runtime validation. You can apply data morphs to parse and alter incoming form or API payloads directly within the validation schema, resulting in cleanly structured output objects.

Does ArkType support Standard Schema for modern tool integration?

ArkType supports Standard Schema compatibility for seamless integration with modern tooling. This ensures your runtime validators work smoothly alongside contemporary TypeScript frameworks and libraries that adopt the Standard Schema specification.

How do I validate complex recursive domain models in TypeScript?

You can validate complex recursive domain models using scopes and recursion support. This allows you to define self-referencing schemas that accurately validate nested data structures without hitting compilation limits or type inference errors.
