## What it is
A jQuery plugin that adds user-friendly HTML5 form validation to Bootstrap 3 forms, configured via standard HTML5 attributes and data attributes. It provides unobtrusive error messaging, custom validators, AJAX field validation, and submit disabling until forms are valid.

## Use cases
- validate bootstrap 3 forms with html5 attributes
- show inline error messages on form fields
- disable submit button until form is valid
- add custom validation rules to jquery forms
- validate form fields via ajax
- customize form error messages

## When to choose
- you are using Bootstrap 3 and jQuery
- you want declarative, HTML5-attribute-based form validation
- you need unobtrusive client-side validation with customizable error messages

## When to avoid
