Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zod?
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema validation library. You define a schema once and Zod infers the TypeScript type automatically. It is widely used for validating API inputs, form data, and environment variables in TypeScript projects.
What is JSON to Zod conversion?
JSON to Zod generates a Zod schema that matches the shape of a given JSON sample. Instead of writing z.object({ ... }) by hand, you paste your API response and get a ready-to-use validation schema.
Do I need to install Zod separately?
Yes. The generated code imports from 'zod'. Install it with: npm install zod (or bun add zod / pnpm add zod).
Is my JSON data safe?
All conversion runs in your browser using pure JavaScript. No JSON is ever sent to a server. Your data stays completely private.
Can it handle nested JSON?
Yes. Each nested JSON object becomes its own named Zod schema constant. The parent schema references the child by name, and all schemas are output together.
