DESCRIPTION

13       Validation::Class::Directives provides a collection of installed
14       Validation::Class directives. This class inherits from
15       Validation::Class::Mapping. Please look at Validation::Class::Directive
16       for information of developing your own directives.

RATIONALE

19       The following is a list of core directives that get installed
20       automatically with Validation::Class and can be used to jump-start your
21       data validation initiative.  Please Note! The purpose of the core
22       directives is merely to provide a reasonable layer of protection
23       against bad/malformed data, the validators are not very sophisticated
24       and were created using a minimal level of strictness (e.g. the email
25       and hostname directives do not perform a hostname lookup nor does the
26       email directive conform to the RFC specification).
27
28       Various applications have varied levels of strictness regarding various
29       types of input (e.g. a hospital API may require a more sophisticated
30       SSN validation than that of a department of education API; likewise; an
31       email service API may require a more sophisticated email validation
32       than that of a file sharing API).  Validation::Class does not attempt
33       to provide validators for all levels of strictness and the core
34       directives exist to support typical use-cases with a minimal level of
35       strictness.
