Validate.js is a zero-dependency JavaScript library for declaratively validating objects using constraint definitions that can be shared between client and server. It supports sync and promise-based async validation and multiple error output formats.

Use cases

  • validate form input in the browser
  • validate JSON payloads on a node.js server
  • share validation constraints between client and server
  • run async validations with promises
  • validate objects against declarative constraint definitions

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, dependency-free validation library for legacy JavaScript projects
  • you want constraints declared in JSON and shared across client and server
  • you need both synchronous and promise-based validation

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project and want an actively maintained library
  • you need new features or bug fixes, since the project is archived
  • you want TypeScript support or modern ecosystem integration
