Transgender women suffer too frequently from transphobic violence and cruelty, being the less protected social group. I'd like to raise an awareness of this problem. Humans should be creators — not killers. But most importantly, I want every transgender girl to have an opportunity to create applications quickly and, in general, learn to write code easily in order to receive job offers and leave dangerously transphobic territories for more favorable and civilized ones, and live happily there. Protect transgender women.

This version is focused on making express-zod-api a complete zod plugin. In this regard withMeta is removed in favor of the recommended approach on extending zod functionality, which opens up opportunities for new features and simplifies the consumer experience. Another improvement has been made for parsers: they are now applied selectively depending on the type of expected request.

#1760

[RobinTail]

I'm going to visit the express technical committee meeting tomorrow in order to find out what they are planning for #1530 , if there are any other breaking changes should be expected.

Regarding Zod 4, so far I only managed to find out that it will increase its minimum Typescript version to 5.0.0, which will not be breaking for express-zod-api, since it's already 5.1.3+
