Zod schema

Plain-language definition
Plain-language definition
A TypeScript-friendly runtime validator that describes allowed data.
Why it matters
Static TypeScript types disappear at runtime; Zod enforces the same boundary when real requests arrive.
Technical detail
A Zod schema parses unknown input into typed data or returns structured validation issues, supporting composition, defaults, transforms, and refinements.
Examples
- CreateGlossaryTermSchema rejects a malformed source URL during import.
