## Why do I need to install `zod`?

Pigeon depends on [zod](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zod) for validation. At this point it does not support any other validation libraries.

Because `zod` is being used, TypeScript **must** be in `strict` mode. See all zod requirements [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zod#requirements).
