Because Zod uses a &amp;quot;fluent builder&amp;quot; API, all of Zod&amp;#x27;s functionality is implemented in classes with many methods. Importing something like `z.string` also imports validators to check if the string is a UUID, email address, has a minimum or maximum length, matches a regex, and so on - even if none of those validators are used. Valibot makes these independent functions that are composed using the &amp;quot;pipe&amp;quot; function, which means that only the functions which are actually used need to be included in your JavaScript bundle. Since most apps use only a small percentage of the available validators, the bundle size reduction can be quite significant relative to Zod.</text><parent_chain><item><author>threatofrain</author><text>This is just a link to the front page of possibly the #1 most popular type validation library in the ecosystem?
