Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Lessons from open-source: Replace zod with superstruct if you do not use zod’s advanced capabilities
This is where I saw compiled folder has superstruct’s minified code.

Mastering Type-Safe JSON Serialization in TypeScript
However, working with the unknown type is less convenient than merely specifying the desired data type. Apart from type-casting, there are multiple ways to convert the unknown type into the required data type. One such method is utilizing the Superstruct library to validate data at runtime and throw detailed errors if the data is invalid.

Unleashing the Power of TypeScript: Improving Standard Library Types
For example, the superstruct library is a lighter alternative to Zod. This library is more suitable for use on the client side since it has a relatively small size (13.1 kB vs 3.4 kB).

Banditypes: The mighty 400-byte schema validator for TS / JS
Banditstash, like all the newer validation libraries (yup, zod, superstruct, typed) can auto-generate TS type from a JS schema:

React Router Actions Form Submission and Validation
Inside the action, the first thing we're going to do is get the formData using the request object. Then we will create an object from the formData data that will later be validated by our superstruct schema.

Is there any reason not to use typescript?
You could use Zod or Superstruct to validate the types of values, or use typestack/class-validator if it makes sense.
- Why doesn’t TypeScript natively do any type checking

TDD
Qué rico. Si tenés chance meté un proceso de code review fuerte, y para el tema de I/O probá a usar https://github.com/Effect-TS/schema ó https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts que les da una solución obvia al tema de "tipos para lo que devuelva el backend", aunque es en realidad mucho más capaz que eso.

Domain modelling with State Machines and TypeScript by Carlton Upperdine
My fave is still io-ts (https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/docs/index.md) as I find it more flexible than zod at the ingress. The author is also working on the Effect ecosystem which also looks interesting.

Why I Like Using Maps (and WeakMaps) for Handling DOM Nodes
I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar.

Can someone recommend a library for data parsing similar to Zod, but with better support for input transformations/preprocessing?
Yeah, there are a few new concepts and it's not the easiest to pick up right away. The best introduction is here on the main documentation page.
- libraries you are happy that you discovered them
- Is React for small projects an Overkill?
-
how to strictly type this?
We use https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md which has a very similar interface. It can even be used to mutate the data using https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md#the-parse-combinator.

Typescript advanced bits: function overloading, never and unknown types
A good way to significantly improve the reliability of your app is via improving type-safety by moving away from using any to unknown. One relevant example could be when you type your backend responses and when stringifying JSON to using unknown combined with some sort of runtime type checking. It can be done either by using built-in functionality like type guards or using an external library like io-ts, zod or yup.

I found 10,000x faster TypeScript validator library
Usage of TypeBox is similar with io-ts and zod, but it is much powerful and faster than them. Also, TypeBox can generate JSON schema very easily. Therefore, if you're looking for a validator library for new project and not suffering from legacy codes, I think TypeBox would be much better choice than io-ts and zod. TypeBox can totally replace them.

Validate your data with Zod
This check can be done with different libraries like: io-ts, typebox, or zod. These libraries allow you to create objects that represent your typescript definitions. Then, these objects can be used at runtime to validate the received data, in addition, you can also convert this object to a Typescript definition to have all the benefits of using typescript. These objects can be called schema validations because they are responsible for the data validation.
What are some alternatives?
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
Yup - Dead simple Object schema validation
class-validator - Decorator-based property validation for classes.
joi - The most powerful data validation library for JS [Moved to: https://github.com/hapijs/joi]
openapi-generator - OpenAPI Generator allows generation of API client libraries (SDK generation), server stubs, documentation and configuration automatically given an OpenAPI Spec (v2, v3)
ajv - The fastest JSON schema Validator. Supports JSON Schema draft-04/06/07/2019-09/2020-12 and JSON Type Definition (RFC8927)
fp-ts - Functional programming in TypeScript
MikroORM - TypeScript ORM for Node.js based on Data Mapper, Unit of Work and Identity Map patterns. Supports MongoDB, MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite/libSQL databases.
runtypes - Runtime validation for static types
openapi-cop - A proxy that validates responses and requests against an OpenAPI document. https://www.npmjs.com/package/openapi-cop https://hub.docker.com/r/lxlu/openapi-cop
