## What it is
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
- you need multilingual validation error messages
- you want built-in XSS filtering and sanitization

## 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
- you need client-side JavaScript validation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: form-handling, security, internationalization
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: php
- tags: data-validation, input-filtering, sanitization, framework-agnostic, zero-dependencies
