I guess it's something in the air! Given the popularity of the other libraries, it's surprising that there's isn't an optimal one.
And yeah, unless you've gone down the rabbit hole of type safety obsession, it's hard to understand the necessity of this. I like that you specifically call out REST API validation in your docs...the difficultly of type safe API implementation was what drove me to build zod.
I'm using Zod plus a hand-rolled codegen tool to implement an end-to-end type safe RPC API that validates all data at runtime AND generates a statically typed Typescript SDK for use on the client.
PS If people like the sound of that I might publish that too. Let me know if it sounds interesting.
