  x: Type.Number(),                         //   type: 'object',
  y: Type.Number(),                         //   properties: {

})                                          //     y: { type: 'number' },
                                            //     z: { type: 'number' }
                                            //   },
                                            //   required: ['x', 'y', 'z']
                                            // }

type T = Type.Static<typeof T>              // type T = {
                                            //   x: number,
                                            //   y: number,
                                            //   z: number
                                            // }

## Overview

[Documentation](https://sinclairzx81.github.io/typebox/)

TypeBox is a runtime type system that creates in-memory JSON Schema objects that infer as TypeScript types. The schematics produced by this library are designed to match the static type checking rules of the TypeScript compiler. TypeBox offers a unified type system that can be statically checked by TypeScript and validated at runtime using standard JSON Schema.

This library is designed to allow JSON Schema to compose similar to how types compose within TypeScript's type system. It can be used as a simple tool to build up complex schematics or integrated into REST, RPC and MCP services to help validate data received over the wire.

## Type

[Documentation](https://sinclairzx81.github.io/typebox/#/docs/type/overview) | [Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?# )

TypeBox types are JSON Schema fragments that compose into more complex types. The library offers a set of types used to construct JSON Schema compliant schematics as well as a set of extended types used to model constructs native to the JavaScript language. The schematics produced by TypeBox can be passed directly to any JSON Schema compliant validator.

## Example

The following creates a User type and infers with Static.

```typescript
import Type from 'typebox'

// Type

const User = Type.Object({                       // const User = {
  id: Type.String(),                             //   type: 'object',
  name: Type.String(),                           //   properties: {
  email: Type.String({ format: 'email' })        //     id: { type: 'string' },
})                                               //     name: { type: 'string' },
                                                 //     email: { 
                                                 //       type: 'string', 
                                                 //       format: 'email' 
                                                 //     }
                                                 //   }
                                                 //   required: [
                                                 //     'id', 
                                                 //     'name', 
                                                 //     'email'
                                                 //   ]
                                                 // }

// Static

type User = Type.Static<typeof User>              // type User = {
                                                  //   id: string,
                                                  //   name: string,
                                                  //   email: string
                                                  // }

```

## Script

[Documentation](https://sinclairzx81.github.io/typebox/#/docs/script/overview) | [Example 1](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/# ) | [Example 2](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/# )

The TypeBox Script function is a micro DSL for constructing JSON Schema from TypeScript syntax. It offers a full syntactic frontend to Type.* with broad support for type-level expressions including Conditional, Mapped, Infer, Generic, Distributive types and more. This feature is implemented symmetrically at both runtime and in the type system.

### Example

The following uses the Script function to parse TypeScript interfaces into JSON Schema.

```typescript
import Type from 'typebox'

// Script

const { User, UserUpdate } = Type.Script(`

  interface Entity {
    id: string
  }

  interface User extends Entity { 
    name: string, 
    email: string 
  }

  type UserUpdate = Evaluate<
    Pick<User, keyof Entity> & 
    Partial<Omit<User, keyof Entity>>
  >

`)

// Reflect

console.log(User)                                // {
                                                 //   type: 'object',
                                                 //   properties: {
                                                 //     id: { type: 'string' },
                                                 //     name: { type: 'string' },
                                                 //     email: { type: 'string' }
                                                 //   },
                                                 //   required: [
                                                 //     'id', 
                                                 //     'name', 
                                                 //     'email'
                                                 //   ]
                                                 // }

console.log(UserUpdate)                          // {
                                                 //   type: 'object',

                                                 //   },
                                                 //   required: ['id']
                                                 // }

// Static

type User = Type.Static<typeof User>              // type User = {

TypeBox includes a high-performance JSON Schema compiler with support for drafts 3 through to 2020-12. The compiler is designed to be a lightweight industry-grade alternative to Ajv and offers improved compilation and validation performance. The compiler also offers automatic fallback to dynamic checking in JIT-restricted environments such as Cloudflare Workers.

### Example

The following uses the Schema submodule to compile a TypeBox type.

```typescript
import Schema from 'typebox/schema'

// Compile

const User = Schema.Compile(Type.Object({        // const User = Validator<Type.TObject<{
  id: Type.String(),                             //   id: Type.TString;
  name: Type.String(),                           //   name: Type.TString;
  email: Type.String({ format: 'email' })        //   email: Type.TString;
}))                                              // }>, { ... }>

// Parse

const user = User.Parse({                        // const user: {
  id: '65f1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b9c0d1',                //   id: string,
  name: 'user',                                  //   name: string,
  email: 'user@domain.com'                       //   email: string
})                                               // } = ...

```
