Runtypes: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Runtypes is a library for runtime type checking in JavaScript and TypeScript. It allows you to define and validate data types at runtime, ensuring that your data conforms to the specified structure. Runtypes provides a simple and expressive syntax for defining complex data types, making it easy to enforce type safety in your applications.
Compared to other type-checking libraries like PropTypes or TypeScript's static type system, Runtypes offers dynamic type checking capabilities that can be useful in scenarios where data shapes are not known at compile time. It is actively maintained and provides a flexible and powerful solution for runtime type validation.
