## What it is
A TypeScript library providing NestJS integration for Zod schema validation. It lets you create DTOs from Zod schemas, validate request bodies/queries/params, serialize responses, and generate OpenAPI docs.

## Use cases
- validate nestjs request bodies with zod
- create DTOs from zod schemas in nestjs
- generate openapi docs from zod schemas
- serialize nestjs responses with zod
- replace class-validator with zod in nestjs
- validate query params and url params with zod

## When to choose
- you use NestJS and prefer Zod over class-validator/class-transformer
- you want type-safe validation and response serialization in one package
- you need OpenAPI/Swagger docs generated from Zod schemas

## When to avoid
- you don't use NestJS
- your project is committed to class-validator-based DTOs
- you don't use TypeScript or Zod

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: form-handling, serialization, api-framework, api-documentation
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: nestjs, zod, dto, openapi, schema-validation, request-validation, nodejs, typescript
