Zod 4
I was using TypeBox but switched to Zod. I like TypeBox but I found I don't actually need my schema to be a JSON Schema and the one time I did want a JSON Schema it was hard to get actual JSON back out of TypeBox.
The thing I like about Zod is the "refinements" and "transforms" and the new "overwrite" in Zod 4 was just what I wanted.
TypeBox does have a transform (https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox?tab=readme-ov-file#t...) but you can't transform and then apply more validations and then maybe another transform, etc. For example, I like to trim strings before checking length.

Zod v4: 17x Slower? (and Why You Should Care) 🚦
My hunch was that Zod v4 started using eval (or, more precisely, JIT compilation via new Function) for validation. This isn’t a bad thing — libraries like TypeBox, ArkType, and even Sury use similar techniques for speed.

Welcome Sury - The fastest schema with next-gen DX 🚀
Sury uses new Function under the hood. This approach makes it the fastest schema library available, but also means it cannot be used in environments that don't allow dynamic code evaluation, like CloudFlare Workers. Most users won't be affected, but might be an issue for some. Regarding safety of the approach you shouldn't be worried. Everything embeded to the generated code is escaped and thoroughly tested. Also, other libraries like TypeBox and Zod@4 use new Function under the hood as well.

Introducing Hono OpenAPI: Simplifying API Documentation for HonoJS
The original library only supports Zod. While Zod is excellent, many developers use alternatives like Valibot, ArkType, and TypeBox. hono-openapi is validator-agnostic, offering first-class support for multiple libraries.

The Model Context Protocol
If you were willing to bring additional zod tooling or move to something like TypeBox (https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox), the json schema would be a direct derivation of the tools' input schemas in code.

Zod: TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
I'd recommend TypeBox[1] as an alternative, which has a runtime “compiler” for generating optimized JS functions from the type objects. It also produces a JSON schema, which can be useful for generating API docs and API clients if needed.
It also has a companion library[2] for generating TypeBox validators from TypeScript definitions, which I'm currently using in an RPC library I'm working on.

Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Big fan of your work and impressed by your productivity. Currently reading https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/unifying-business-data/....
Currently experimenting with programmatic generation of json schemas via https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox. Trying to maximize reuse of schema components.
Was wondering if JSON BinPack is a good serialization format to sign json documents? Can it be used to somehow canonicalize json?
