 /**
- * The following formats are supported for string validation with `format` keyword:
- *
- * - **date**: full-date according to [RFC3339](https://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#RFC3339).
- * - **time**: time with optional time-zone.
- * - **date-time**: date-time from the same source (time-zone is mandatory).
- * - **uri**: full uri with optional protocol.
- * - **email**: email address.
- * - **hostname**: host name according to [RFC1034](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034#section-3.1).
- * - **ipv4**: IP address v4.
- * - **ipv6**: IP address v6.
- * - **regex**: tests whether a string is a valid regular expression by passing it to RegExp constructor.
+ * Applies a format validation to string properties using JSON Schema's `format` keyword.
  *
- * ::: warning
- * For v6 user, use @@Format@@ from @tsed/schema instead of @tsed/platform-http.
- * :::
+ * The `@Format()` decorator validates string values against common formats like email,
+ * URI, date-time, and IP addresses. This provides semantic validation beyond just checking
+ * the string type.
  *
- * ## Example
- * ### With primitive type
+ * ### Supported Formats
+ *
+ * - **date**: Full-date according to RFC3339 (`2024-01-15`)
+ * - **time**: Time with optional time-zone (`14:30:00`, `14:30:00+02:00`)
+ * - **date-time**: Date-time from RFC3339 (time-zone mandatory: `2024-01-15T14:30:00Z`)
+ * - **uri**: Full URI with optional protocol (`https://example.com/path`)
+ * - **url**: Valid URL (stricter than uri)
+ * - **email**: Email address (`user@example.com`)
+ * - **hostname**: Host name according to RFC1034 (`example.com`)
+ * - **ipv4**: IPv4 address (`192.168.1.1`)
+ * - **ipv6**: IPv6 address (`2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334`)
+ * - **regex**: Valid regular expression pattern
+ *
+ * ### Basic Usage
  *
  * ```typescript
- * class Model {
- *    @Format("email")
- *    property: string;
+ * class ContactModel {
+ *   @Format("email")
+ *   email: string;
+ *
+ *   @Format("uri")
+ *   website: string;
+ *
+ *   @Format("ipv4")
+ *   serverIp: string;
  * }
  * ```
  *
- * ```json
- * {
- *   "type": "object",
- *   "properties": {
- *     "property": {
- *       "type": "string",
- *       "format": "email"
- *     }
- *   }
+ * ### With Arrays
+ *
+ * ```typescript
+ * class ServerConfig {
+ *   @Format("email")
+ *   @CollectionOf(String)
+ *   adminEmails: string[];
+ *   // Each email must be valid
  * }
  * ```
  *
- * ### With array type
+ * ### Date/Time Formats
  *
  * ```typescript
- * class Model {
- *    @Format("email")
- *    @CollectionOf(String)
- *    property: string[];
+ * class EventModel {
+ *   @Format("date")
+ *   eventDate: string;  // "2024-12-25"
+ *
+ *   @Format("time")
+ *   startTime: string;  // "14:30:00"
+ *
+ *   @Format("date-time")
+ *   createdAt: string;  // "2024-01-15T14:30:00Z"
  * }
  * ```
  *
- * Will produce:
+ * ### Convenience Decorators
  *
- * ```json
- * {
- *   "type": "object",
- *   "properties": {
- *     "property": {
- *       "type": "array",
- *       "items": {
- *          "type": "string",
- *          "format": "email"
- *       }
- *     }
- *   }
- * }
+ * Ts.ED provides convenience decorators that use `@Format()` internally:
+ *
+ * - `@Email()` - Equivalent to `@Format("email")`
+ * - `@DateTime()` - Equivalent to `@Format("date-time")`
+ * - `@DateFormat()` - Equivalent to `@Format("date")`
+ * - `@TimeFormat()` - Equivalent to `@Format("time")`
+ * - `@Uri()` - Equivalent to `@Format("uri")`
+ * - `@Url()` - Equivalent to `@Format("url")`
+ *
+ * ### Use Cases
+ *
+ * - **Data Integrity**: Ensure strings conform to expected formats
+ * - **API Validation**: Validate input data at API boundaries
+ * - **Database Constraints**: Match database column format requirements
+ * - **Standards Compliance**: Ensure RFC compliance for dates, emails, URIs
+ *
+ * ### Validation Examples
+ *
+ * ```typescript
+ * @Format("email")
+ * email: string;
+ *
+ * // Valid:
+ * "user@example.com"
+ * "jane.doe+tag@company.co.uk"
+ *
+ * // Invalid:
+ * "not-an-email"
+ * "missing@domain"
+ * "@example.com"
  * ```
  *
- * @param {string} format
+ * ### Important Notes
+ *
+ * - Format validation depends on the validator implementation (AJV, etc.)
+ * - Some formats may require additional validator plugins
+ * - Format is primarily for strings; use on other types may be ignored
+ * - Can be combined with other string validators (MinLength, Pattern, etc.)
+ *
+ * @param format - The format keyword to apply (from JsonFormatTypes enum)

  *
- * ## Example
+ * The `@Nullable()` decorator creates a union type that includes `null` alongside the
+ * specified type(s). This is implemented using JSON Schema's `oneOf` keyword to allow
+ * either the specified type or null.
+ *
+ * ### Single Type with Null
  *
  * ```typescript

- *    property: Date | null;
+ * class UserModel {
+ *   @Nullable(Date)
+ *   lastLogin: Date | null;
+ *   // Accepts: Date object OR null
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Multiple Types with Null
  *
- *    @Nullable(String, Number, Boolean)
- *    property: string | number | boolean | null;
+ * ```typescript
+ * class FlexibleModel {
+ *   @Nullable(String, Number, Boolean)
+ *   property: string | number | boolean | null;
+ *   // Accepts: string OR number OR boolean OR null
  * }
  * ```

+ *
+ * class Person {
+ *   @Nullable(Address)
+ *   address: Address | null;
+ *   // Accepts: Address object OR null
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### TypeScript Integration
+ *
+ * ```typescript

+ *   @Nullable(String)
+ *   description: string | null;
+ *
+ *   @Nullable(Number)
+ *   discount: number | null;
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Important: Arrays
+ *
+ * Do NOT use `@Nullable(Array)` as it produces incorrect schemas. Instead:
+ *
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Wrong
+ * @Nullable(Array)
+ * items: any[] | null;
+ *
+ * // Correct
+ * @Schema(array().items().nullable())
+ * items: any[] | null;
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Use Cases
+ *
+ * - **Optional Database Fields**: Model nullable database columns
+ * - **Partial Updates**: Allow fields to be explicitly set to null in PATCH requests
+ * - **Default Values**: Distinguish between "not provided" and "explicitly null"
+ * - **External APIs**: Match nullable fields from third-party services
+ *
+ * ### vs Optional
+ *
+ * - `@Nullable()`: Field can be present with value `null`
+ * - `@Optional()`: Field can be omitted entirely
+ * - Can combine both: `@Optional() @Nullable(String)` allows omitted, null, or string
+ *
