## Description

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.
