Zod schema for the package.json file format.

This package exports a zod schema (and a TypeScript type) named PackageJson that can parse most well-formed package.json files.

The schema includes all currently supported properties listed in the npm docs as well as additional well-known properties specific to TypeScript and Node.js.

The schema also preserves unknown properties, which can be accessed by indexing the parsed data with the desired string keys.

The schema only validates the listed properties against the expected type but does not do any additional normalization such as merging similar properties. If necessary, that can be done by extending the schema with zod methods such as .transform() or .refine().
