Zig Interface

A compile-time interface checker for Zig that enables interface-based design with comprehensive type checking and detailed error reporting.

What is Zig Interface?

Zig Interface is a library that brings interface-based design to Zig at compile time. It allows you to define type-safe interfaces with detailed error reporting, interface embedding (composition), and complex type validation including structs, enums, arrays, and slices.

Key Features

• Compile-time interface verification with comprehensive type checking
• Interface embedding for composition patterns
• Detailed error messages with helpful hints for mismatched implementations
• Complex type support including structs, enums, arrays, slices, and error unions
• Zero runtime overhead - all validation happens at compile time

Common Use Cases

• Creating plugin systems with defined interfaces
• Implementing repository patterns with multiple backends
• Building modular architectures with clear contracts
• Ensuring API compatibility across different implementations
• Enabling dependency injection patterns in Zig
