| Feature                      | Pydantic Handles? | mypy Handles? | Example/Note                                                                 |
|-------------------------------|-------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Type coercion                | Yes               | No            | `"123"` → `123` for int fields (Pydantic). mypy only checks declared types.   |
| Nested models                | Yes               | Limited       | Pydantic validates recursively. mypy ensures type annotations are consistent. |
| Complex types (List, Dict)   | Yes               | Yes           | Both validate/ensure typing; Pydantic does runtime parsing.                   |
| Custom validation            | Yes               | No            | Pydantic: `@validator`. mypy can’t enforce custom logic.                      |
| Error reporting              | Yes               | No            | Pydantic gives structured runtime errors. mypy stops at type
