Standard Schema is a specification defining a shared interface for TypeScript schema validation libraries, so tools can accept any compliant schema without library-specific adapters. It also includes a Standard JSON Schema spec for converting schemas to JSON Schema.

Use cases

• accept any validation library's schemas in my tool without adapters
• standardize schema validation interfaces across TypeScript libraries
• convert validation schemas to JSON Schema
• avoid extra dependencies when integrating schema libraries
• build a form library that works with Zod, Valibot, and ArkType
• infer input and output types from a schema generically

When to choose

• you're building a tool or framework that should consume schemas from multiple validation libraries
• you maintain a schema library and want ecosystem interoperability
• you need a vendor-neutral JSON Schema conversion interface

When to avoid

• you need an actual validation implementation rather than an interface spec
• your project only uses one schema library and has no interop needs
• you need runtime features beyond what the spec defines
