A Go library for validating HTTP request data (form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded, query params, JSON) using simple rule strings, inspired by Laravel's request validation. It supports custom error messages and returns validation errors as structured maps.

Use cases

• validate http request data in go
• validate form inputs with rules like required and email
• laravel-style validation for golang apis
• return validation errors from go handlers
• validate query parameters in go web server
• custom validation error messages in go

When to choose

• you want Laravel-style declarative request validation in Go
• you need to validate form data, urlencoded bodies, query params, or JSON in HTTP handlers
• you want custom per-field error messages

When to avoid

• you need struct-tag-based validation integrated with your models
• you use a full web framework with built-in validation
• you need actively developed features or recent bug fixes
