## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: middleware, form-handling, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: request-validation, laravel-inspired, input-validation, http, web-server
