# [9.0.0](https://github.com/thenativeweb/validate-value/compare/8.9.29...9.0.0) (2021-05-17)
### Features
* Parse, don't validate. ([#345](https://github.com/thenativeweb/validate-value/issues/345)) ([880db64](https://github.com/thenativeweb/validate-value/commit/880db642be3af1fdcdf03c38bbf2c1a3a2a796f1))
### BREAKING CHANGES
* Parsing invalid data does not throw an exception anymore; Instead it returns an error-Result object.
- Returns a Result object that either contains a parsed value or an error, instead of just throwing an error. This encourages parsing of data over validating it and provides assistance with TypeScript types of parsed variables.
- Improves error messages slightly.

In the second example, the typedOptions contained in the `Result` returned from the `parseOptions` call already have the type that we expect them to have and we don't have to assert them or assign them to a new variable in any way. This combines better support from the TypeScript compiler with better error handling from [`defekt`](https://github.com/thenativeweb/defekt/).

For convenience, there is also the `parse` function, which skips the creation of a parser instance. You can use this if you're only going to use a schema for validation once. Otherwise, it is recommended to first create a parser instance, since then the json schema is only compiled once.
