Apache Avro Schema to Zod Schema Generator
Compile Apache Avro Schema (.avsc) files into clean, runtime Zod validators and inferred TypeScript types in your browser.
At a glance
Apache Avro Schema to Zod Schema Generator is a free client-side tool that compiles Apache Avro (.avsc) files into TypeScript runtime Zod schemas. It accurately translates records, arrays, enums, maps, and union nullability with optional type inference. Zero server uploads — everything compiles in browser memory.
100% Client-Side In-Browser Zod Schema Generator
Apache Avro Schema (.avsc) files compile into runtime Zod validators and inferred TypeScript types in browser memory. Zero server uploads.
How Avro to Zod Schema Compilation Works
Consuming Apache Kafka event streams, Confluent Schema Registry records, or enterprise message brokers in modern TypeScript or Node.js applications requires both static type guarantees and runtime boundary validation. This tool parses Apache Avro Schema (.avsc) files and compiles them into production-ready Zod v3 validators with complete type safety.
Spec-Accurate Nullability & Unions
In Apache Avro, optional attributes are represented as union types containing "null" (e.g. ["null", "string"]). Our generator maps these into z.string().nullable().optional() while compiling multi-type unions into z.union([...]).
Recursive Nested Extraction
Deeply nested Avro records and enums are recursively identified and extracted into clean, top-level Zod schemas (e.g. AddressSchema) so that reusable child schemas remain modular and easily exported.
Runtime Validation & Inferred Types
With one click, generate both runtime validation rules and zero-cost inferred static types (z.infer<typeof ...>) directly in your browser. No server calls, telemetry, or dependencies required.
Why Use This Apache Avro Schema to Zod Schema Generator?
How to Use Apache Avro Schema to Zod Schema Generator
Paste Avro Schema or Upload .avsc
Enter your Avro schema JSON or drop an .avsc file into the editor.
Configure Zod Options
Toggle export keywords, inferred TypeScript types (z.infer), and integer constraints.
Copy or Download Zod Code
Copy the generated Zod validation code directly to your clipboard or download as a .ts file.
Kafka Clickstream Event Schema to Zod Schema
Compiles the Avro record into a production-grade Zod validator and inferred TypeScript type with exact nullability.
{
"type": "record",
"name": "ClickEvent",
"fields": [
{ "name": "id", "type": "string" },
{ "name": "referrer", "type": ["null", "string"] },
{ "name": "tags", "type": { "type": "array", "items": "string" } }
]
}
import { z } from 'zod';
export const ClickEventSchema = z.object({
id: z.string(),
referrer: z.string().nullable().optional(),
tags: z.array(z.string())
});
export type ClickEvent = z.infer<typeof ClickEventSchema>;
