io-ts is a TypeScript library for runtime type checking and validation. It allows you to define complex data types and validate input data against these types at runtime. io-ts provides a powerful and expressive way to ensure data integrity and enforce type safety in your applications. It supports both simple primitive types and complex nested structures, making it versatile for various validation scenarios.

Compared to other validation libraries like Yup or Joi, io-ts is specifically tailored for TypeScript, offering strong type inference and integration with the TypeScript compiler. It provides a functional programming approach to defining and validating types, making it a popular choice for projects that require robust type checking.
