A comment on JSON Schema bundling formalised.

For those looking to sanitize input from Typescript, I highly recommend the runtypes library: https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes

It let's you specify type definitions a DSL in Typescript using syntax very similar to Typescript's type definitions. Once you define your types in the DSL, you get Typescript types and parsing / verification for free. Not as general purpose as JSON Schema, but 1000x cleaner and easier to use.

The point of JSON Schema is to have a common format independant of the programming language to ease interoperability.

I've never seen runtypes, but I've seen io-ts [1]. Are you aware of the pros/cons between them?
