XT-Type

A TypeScript framework for handling data of unknown types.

XT-Type provides a robust, extensible type system for TypeScript applications, enabling you to define, manage, and transform complex data structures dynamically. It is designed to support runtime type definitions, hierarchical type management, and seamless integration with modern TypeScript projects.
