GUMP is a standalone, zero-dependency PHP data validation and filtering library with 76 built-in validators, XSS sanitization, and support for 19 languages. It works with any PHP project or framework from PHP 7.1 to 8.4+.

Use cases

• validate form input in php
• sanitize user data to prevent xss
• validate api request payloads in php
• add custom validation rules to a php project
• validate data without a framework
• localized validation error messages

When to choose

• you need framework-agnostic validation in any PHP project
• you want a lightweight, zero-dependency validator

When to avoid

• you are using a full framework with its own validation (e.g. Laravel, Symfony)
• you need schema validation for JSON documents specifically
