Unlike @types/validator, which provides type definitions for validator.js, Joi offers a comprehensive API for validating JavaScript objects. It's more suited for object schema validation and can be used both on the client and server side.
Yup is a JavaScript schema builder for value parsing and validation. It defines a schema with a more expressive and less verbose syntax compared to traditional assertion libraries.
