Runtime data validation with strong TypeScript type inference, enabling safer APIs, forms, and data pipelines.
Install zod, define a schema with z.object({ ... }), and validate data with .parse() or .safeParse().

Runtime validation with TypeScript type inference uses schemas that define both parsing rules and compile-time types. Zod creates type-safe schemas with z.object(), z.string(), and other validators, then .parse() or .safeParse() validates input data while z.infer extracts the corresponding TypeScript type automatically.
JSON Schema export converts runtime schemas to OpenAPI-compatible formats. Zod's z.toJSONSchema() transforms your schema definitions into JSON Schema, enabling integration with OpenAPI documentation generators and AI prompt systems without manual schema duplication.
Parse throws an error on invalid data, halting execution immediately. SafeParse returns a result object indicating success or failure, allowing graceful error handling. Use parse when failure is exceptional; use safeParse for user input, API responses, and form data where validation errors are expected.
Error handling and localization patterns extract detailed validation failures from safeParse results, map error codes to translated messages, and format user-friendly responses. Zod provides rich error objects with field paths and issue types, enabling custom error messages and multi-language support.
Advanced patterns including recursive schemas, custom validation rules via .refine(), and metadata attachment enable complex domain logic. Zod supports composable refinements for cross-field validation, lazy type definitions for self-referential structures, and custom codecs for specialized parsing.
