Episode notes
Standard Schema's Purpose
- Standard Schema standardizes data validation, not the schema definition itself.
- Libraries like Zod, Valibot, and Archetype retain their distinct APIs.
Data Validation Challenges
- Libraries needing data validation either bless one library or require adapters.
- This creates problems when using different validation libraries.
Implementing Standard Schema
- Use the tilde standard suffix for schemas implementing Standard Schema.
- This allows validation libraries to recognize and use your schema.
