## What it is
next-safe-action is a TypeScript library for defining type-safe, validated Next.js Server Actions with middleware support. It works with any Standard Schema validator (e.g., Zod, Valibot) and provides end-to-end type safety between server and client code.

## Use cases
- validate inputs for next.js server actions
- create type-safe mutations in next.js app router
- add middleware like auth to server actions
- handle errors in server actions with proper typing
- build end-to-end typesafe api with next.js
- use zod validation with react server components

## When to choose
- you use Next.js 14+ App Router with Server Actions and want type safety
- you need input validation and middleware (auth, logging) for mutations
- you want a well-maintained library with strong community adoption

## When to avoid
- you don't use Next.js or its Server Actions
- you're on an older Next.js version without App Router support
- you prefer plain API routes or tRPC for client-server communication
