This looks really nice as an alternative to JSON schema, which is horribly verbose. Like using RELAX NG compact syntax for XML schemas back in the day, versus horrible verbose DTDs or XSDs.
But I think the most natural way to express JSON schemas would be TypeScript type declarations. Is there a project that can take a TS type and generate a runtime parser/validator for it?
I thought maybe Quicktype (https://quicktype.io/) was that, but it looks like it only takes JSON as input, not TS types.
YES! I've introduced ts-to-zod into my codebase only yesterday, and it's served my needs exactly. It doesn't handle generics or mapped types, but that's a fair price to pay.
It also works the other way, you can define a zod schema and you can infer types for your data from it.
