Zod Express Request Validation Middleware

zod-express is an Express.js middleware designed for robust request validation using Zod schemas. Currently at version 0.0.8, this package provides functions like `validateRequest` and `processRequest` to ensure incoming `req.body`, `req.query`, and `req.params` conform to predefined Zod schemas, offering compile-time type safety in TypeScript environments. It recently introduced support for asynchronous validators. `zod-express` is a fork of `zod-express-middleware`, aiming to provide a maintained solution for this use case. Its release cadence appears to be driven by new features or bug fixes, rather than a strict schedule, as indicated by the recent `0.0.8` release adding async validation. Key differentiators include its focus on strong typing with Zod and the flexibility to either just validate or validate and transform/process request data.
