Validation
This library is a PHP framework designed for validating and sanitizing incoming data. It provides a structured approach to ensuring that information conforms to expected formats and integrity requirements before it is processed or stored by an application.
The project utilizes a fluent interface to construct validation logic, allowing for the definition of complex rules through chainable methods. It employs a strategy-based execution model where individual validation components are encapsulated and can be dynamically assigned to data fields. When validation fails, the system uses an exception-driven approach to return structured feedback regarding specific constraint violations.
The library covers a broad range of data processing tasks, including the verification of API request payloads and web form submissions. It also incorporates filter-based sanitization to modify or remove unsafe characters from raw input, helping to maintain data integrity and prevent security vulnerabilities.
Features
- PHP Validation Libraries - Provides a PHP-native library for sanitizing and verifying input data against complex validation rules.
- Form Validation - Provides a comprehensive framework for enforcing constraints on incoming form data.
- Data Validation - Verifies that incoming data conforms to specified rules and constraints to ensure information integrity.
- Request Validation - Automates the validation of incoming API request payloads against defined structural constraints.
- Business Invariant Enforcement - Enforces consistent validation rules to guarantee that only reliable data reaches core business logic.
- Input Sanitization - Cleans user-provided data by removing unsafe characters to prevent injection and corruption.
- Validation Rule Engines - Employs a strategy-based engine to encapsulate and dynamically execute validation logic for different data fields.
- Input Validation Rules - Evaluates incoming data against a collection of predefined constraints to ensure integrity requirements are met.
- Fluent Validation Rules - Uses a fluent method-chaining interface to define complex validation rules in a readable, prose-like syntax.
- PHP Error-to-Exception Bridges - Provides a unified mechanism for converting validation failures into structured exceptions for consistent error management.
- Form Data Validation - Ensures web form submissions meet required format and content requirements before processing.
- Input Sanitizers - Implements filter-based chains to strip or modify unsafe characters from raw input data.
- Input Sanitization Utilities - Offers utility functions for cleaning and sanitizing raw input data to maintain system security.
