@Dhruv-Garg79 Hi,

Are there any major improvements in terms of functionality or performance in v1.0?

Yes, there are many improvements in 1.0. The flagship features for 1.0 are the following.

1. Turing Complete TypeScript Emulation using JSON Schema AST (Type.Script | Declaration Parsing | Turing Assert)
2. Native JSON Schema Draft 3 to 2020-12 compliant validation and inference engine (Inference | Compiler)
3. Built in RFC Compliant String Formats (Formats)
4. Prepare for TypeScript 7 Native (Internal)

Most of the updates in 1.0 relate to (1) and (2) (which were a massive undertaking), but in terms of general functionality, you probably won't notice too much between 0.34.x and 1.0. Many of the updates in V1 are internal changes that enable TypeBox to be used in more flexible ways (with the spec compliant JSON Schema compiler opening many new options for network transmissible types (i.e. Structured Outputs)), but if you're just using TB to model schematics, Version 1.0 is business as usual, same type composition, same performance, etc.

The full documentation for 1.0 is here, if you have any specific questions on 1.0, I'm happy to answer them here :)
Cheers!
