Prismatic's Schema for Server and Client-Side Data Shape Declaration and Validation
summary
Library called Schema declares shapes as data and performs runtime validation of maps, sequences, tuples and functions in Clojure and ClojureScript. It adds optional defn/defrecord annotations, lets teams enable validation selectively during tests, and keeps client and server in sync via ClojureScript client/server sharing. The team generates Objective‑C/Java classes from schemas, reduces duplicated parsing code, and reports that these tools run in production and speed up onboarding and API stability.
