## What it is
A jQuery plugin that validates Bootstrap forms using HTML5 validator attributes and data-attribute options. It displays validation errors in help-block elements as users type.

## Use cases
- validate bootstrap forms with jquery
- show inline validation errors as users type
- enforce required fields and email format in forms
- add custom validation messages via data attributes
- validate checkbox min/max selections in a form

## When to choose
- you have a Bootstrap 2/3 form and want lightweight client-side validation
- you want HTML5 attribute-based validation with custom messages
- you are already using jQuery and want a small plugin

## When to avoid
- you are using modern frameworks like React or Vue with their own form libraries
- you need Bootstrap 4/5 support or a maintained solution
- you want server-side or async-heavy validation workflows

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: form-handling, ui-components
