NAME
    Type::Tiny::Manual - an overview of Type::Tiny

SYNOPSIS
    Type::Tiny is a small class for writing type constraints, inspired by
    Moose's type constraint API. It has no non-core dependencies, and can be
    used with Moose, Mouse and Moo (or none of the above).

    Type::Tiny is bundled with Type::Library a framework for organizing type
    constraints into collections.

    Also bundled is Types::Standard, a Moose-inspired library of useful type
    constraints.

    Type::Params is also provided, to allow very fast checking and coercion
    of function and method parameters.

        Type::Library with other OO frameworks

    *   Type::Tiny and friends don't need to be used within an OO framework.
        See FreeMind::Node for an example that does not.

    *   Processing arguments to subs - coerce and validate arguments to
        functions and methods.

TYPE::TINY VERSUS X
  Specio
    Type::Tiny is similar in aim to Specio. The major differences are that
    Type::Tiny is "tiny"; and Type::Tiny dispenses with the idea of a type
    registry and stringy access to type constraints.

  MooseX::Types
    Type::Tiny libraries expose a similar interface to MooseX::Types
    libraries. In most cases you should be able to rewrite a MooseX::Types
    library to use Type::Tiny pretty easily.

  MooX::Types::MooseLike
    Type::Tiny is faster and supports coercions.

BUGS
    Please report any bugs to

SUPPORT
    IRC: support is available through in the *#moose* channel on
    irc.perl.org <http://www.irc.perl.org/channels.html>. If Type::Tiny
    discussion there becomes overwhelming (unlikely) then I'll move it to a
    separate channel.
