Note — To avoid bloat and confusion, the Ecosystem section has been wiped clean with the release of Zod 4. If you've updated your library to work with Zod 4, please submit a PR to add it back in. For libraries that work with Zod 3, refer to v3.zod.dev .
There are a growing number of tools that are built atop or support Zod natively! If you've built a tool or library on top of Zod, let me know on Twitter or start a Discussion . I'll add it below and tweet it out.
