Zog is a Zod-inspired schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation in Go, using method chaining to define expressive schemas with built-in coercion and rich error context. It ships helper packages for parsing HTTP requests, JSON, environment variables, and i18n error messages.

Use cases

• validate http request bodies and forms in go
• parse and validate json payloads against a schema
• parse environment variables with validation
• coerce and validate form query params into structs
• validate struct data at runtime with detailed error messages
• build zod-like schemas in golang

When to choose

• you want a Zod-like, expressive schema API in Go
• you need fast validation with rich, contextual errors
• you want built-in coercion and zero dependencies
• you parse HTTP forms, JSON, or env vars into structs

When to avoid

• you need a fully stable v1 API (still pre-1.0 with possible minor breaking changes)
• you only need simple struct tag validation and prefer goplayground/validator
• you don't want schema keys tied to Go struct field names
