## Entry points [#entry-points]

* [`enumwaii`](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/api/enumwaii/) — package map for the core entry point, schema adapters, and optional derivation helpers.
* [Core package](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/api/enumwaii/core/) — declarations, parsing, composition, errors, and public utility types on one searchable page.
* [Zod adapter](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/api/enumwaii/adapters/zod/) and [Valibot adapter](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/api/enumwaii/adapters/valibot/) — optional adapter entry points.
* [Derivation helpers](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/api/enumwaii/derive-with/) — optional reusable transformations.

The reference follows the package entry points. Use the page table of contents or search to jump to an individual symbol. Start with [Getting started](https://catofjupit3r.github.io/enumwaii/docs/getting-started/) for the recommended member surface and validation flow.
