Zodios is a TypeScript REST API toolbox providing an end-to-end typesafe HTTP client (built on axios) and an optional Express-compatible server, both validated with Zod schemas from a shared API declaration. It includes plugins, React/Solid hooks based on tanstack-query, and OpenAPI/Swagger generation.

Use cases

• declare a REST API once and share types between frontend and backend
• make typesafe HTTP requests with automatic response validation via zod
• build a typesafe Express server with input validation
• generate OpenAPI specs and Swagger UI from API definitions
• use react hooks for data fetching with autocompletion
• integrate a typesafe API into a NextJS app
• add auth token injection or fetch adapter via plugins

When to choose

• you use TypeScript with zod and want end-to-end typesafety for REST APIs
• you want a single shared API definition for client and server teams
• you want axios-compatible clients with autocompletion and runtime validation
• you want an Express-compatible server with typed routes and OpenAPI generation

When to avoid

• you use GraphQL instead of REST
• your project is plain JavaScript without zod and you don't need validation
• you need a non-Node backend runtime unsupported by express
• you prefer tRPC or another RPC-style typesafe API approach
