```typescript
// RUNTIME VALIDATORS
export function is(input: unknown): input is T; // returns boolean
export function assert(input: unknown): T; // throws TypeGuardError
export function assertGuard(input: unknown): asserts input is T;
export function validate(input: unknown): IValidation; // detailed
// JSON FUNCTIONS
export namespace json {
export function application(): IJsonApplication; // JSON schema
export function assertParse(input: string): T; // type safe parser
export function assertStringify(input: T): string; // safe and faster
}
// LLM FUNCTION CALLING SCHEMA
export namespace llm {
// application schema from a class or interface type
export function application(): ILlmApplication;
// structured output
export function parameters
(): ILlmSchema.IParameters;
export function schema(): ILlmSchema; // type schema
}
// PROTOCOL BUFFER
export namespace protobuf {
export function message(): string; // Protocol Buffer message
export function assertDecode(buffer: Uint8Array): T; // safe decoder
export function assertEncode(input: T): Uint8Array; // safe encoder
}
// RANDOM GENERATOR
export function random(g?: Partial): T;
```
`typia` is a transformer library supporting below features:
- Super-fast Runtime Validators
- Enhanced JSON schema and serde functions
- LLM function calling schema and structured output
- Protocol Buffer encoder and decoder
- Random data generator
> [!NOTE]
>
> - **Only one line** required, with pure TypeScript type
> - Runtime validator is **20,000x faster** than `class-validator`
> - JSON serialization is **200x faster** than `class-transformer`
## Transformation
If you call `typia` function, it would be compiled like below.
This is the key concept of `typia`, transforming TypeScript type to a runtime function. The `typia.is()` function is transformed to a dedicated type checker by analyzing the target type `T` in the compilation level.
This feature enables developers to ensure type safety in their applications, leveraging TypeScript's static typing while also providing runtime validation. Instead of defining additional schemas, you can simply utilize the pure TypeScript type itself.
```typescript
//----
// examples/checkString.ts
//----
import typia, { tags } from "typia";
export const checkString = typia.createIs();
//----
// examples/checkUUID.js
//----
import typia from "typia";
export const checkString = (() => {
return (input) => "string" === typeof input;
})();
```
