Comparison to Runtypes?

[gabrielgrant]

runtypes looks to have some similar patterns and offer at least some of the benefits of Arktype. Curious if anyone has used/investigated arktype and runtypes enough to offer a comprehensive comparison? Would love to see something like @ssalbdivad 's Zod vs Arktype rundown, but even a higher-level comparison would be useful

Is there a particular comparison you're interested in? The API seems closer to alternatives like Zod, and AFAIK it doesn't include runtime type introspectability via methods like .extends().

Those are ArkType's two biggest differentiators, so I'd expect a comparison to be somewhat similar to a comparison with Zod or other libraries, with the exception of some of the cool APIs like matching that ArkType does not yet support.

That said, that Zod comparison is a bit stale at this point. I'll try to write up a more general comparison with other validators as part of the docs I'm working on.
