Response Parsing/Validation Library

Does someone have a recommendation for a Response Parsing/Validation library that parses the Server response I get in my client to make sure it conforms to what I expected? I know I can build something like that myself using zod, but I'd like to know if there is an existing library for that. I know zodios can be used client side only, but I am looking for alternatives without a server part.

I suggest adding some more information about what frameworks you're using for the server and client, as well as if you own the backend or if it's external

@Sturlen Should be framework-agnostic, and I said I want it only client side. The server is a plain REST API I am using React though

zod is powerful but has a giant bundle increase valibot seems more aligned with that you want to do

I already have zod in my bundle so that's not that big of deal. I am basically looking for a higher abstraction based on something like zod for the use case of parsing api calls Just using bare fetch with zod works but it's not a nice DX

zod is already the top abstraction anything higher is just at framework level

https://ts-rest.com/ might be what I am looking for actually. I'd like the lib to focus on the client part, but ts rest seems to at least offer a package without the server part
