io-ts is a TypeScript library for runtime type checking and validation. It allows you to define complex data types and validate input data against these types at runtime. io-ts provides a powerful and composable way to ensure data integrity and enforce type safety in your applications. It supports both simple primitive types and complex nested structures, making it versatile for various use cases.

Compared to other validation libraries like Yup or Joi, io-ts leverages the static type system of TypeScript to provide compile-time type checking in addition to runtime validation. This dual approach helps catch type errors early in the development process and ensures data consistency throughout the application.
