# Getting Started

Moat Maker is a powerful, easy-to-use, TypeScript-inspired data-validation library for JavaScript. It can be installed via `npm install moat-maker`.

Please refer to this [project's README](https://github.com/theScottyJam/gatekeeper) for a brief overview of its basic concepts. The rest of this documentation will build upon the core principles presented in the README.
