Objects

Objects define the shape of your data. Rod supports strict mode, stripping unknown keys, and deep nesting.

let schema = rod_obj! {
    name: string(),
    age: number().int()
};

const schema = rod.object({
    name: rod.string(),
    age: rod.number().int()
});

schema = rod.object({
    "name": rod.string(),
    "age": rod.number().int()
})

Unknown Keys

• .strip(): (Default) Silently removes keys not defined in the schema.
• .strict(): Fails validation if any unknown keys are present.
• .passthrough(): Retains unknown keys in the output.

rod_obj! { ... }.strict()

rod.object({ ... }).strict()

rod.object({ ... }).strict()

JS Parsing Modes

In TypeScript, you can specify how Rod reads your JS objects:

• mode: 'lazy' (Default): Reads fields only when needed. Best for large objects.
• mode: 'eager': Serializes the whole object to Rust first. Best for massive arrays of simple objects.
