Sourced from zod's releases.

v4.3.0

This is Zod's biggest release since 4.0. It addresses several of Zod's longest-standing feature requests.

z.fromJSONSchema()

Convert JSON Schema to Zod (#5534, #5586)

You can now convert JSON Schema definitions directly into Zod schemas. This function supports JSON Schema "draft-2020-12", "draft-7", "draft-4", and OpenAPI 3.0.

import * as z from "zod";
const schema = z.fromJSONSchema({
type: "object",
properties: {
name: { type: "string", minLength: 1 },
age: { type: "integer", minimum: 0 },
},
required: ["name"],
});
schema.parse({ name: "Alice", age: 30 }); // ✅

The API should be considered experimental. There are no guarantees of 1:1 "round-trip soundness": MySchema > z.toJSONSchema() > z.fromJSONSchema(). There are several features of Zod that don't exist in JSON Schema and vice versa, which makes this virtually impossible.

Features supported:

• All primitive types (string, number, integer, boolean, null, object, array)
• String formats (email, uri, uuid, date-time, date, time, ipv4, ipv6, and more)
• Composition (anyOf, oneOf, allOf)
• Object constraints (additionalProperties, patternProperties, propertyNames)
• Array constraints (prefixItems, items, minItems, maxItems)
• $ref for local references and circular schemas
• Custom metadata is preserved

z.xor() — exclusive union (#5534)

A new exclusive union type that requires exactly one option to match. Unlike z.union() which passes if any option matches, z.xor() fails if zero or more than one option matches.

const schema = z.xor([z.string(), z.number()]);
schema.parse("hello"); // ✅
schema.parse(42);      // ✅
schema.parse(true);    // ❌ zero matches

When converted to JSON Schema, z.xor() produces oneOf instead of anyOf.

z.looseRecord() — partial record validation (#5534)
