Should I use this library?

Pros

  • It is perfectly suited for validating REST requests and building single-page applications
  • Form definition can easily be serialized as JSON for client-side validation and form rendering with JavaScript
  • Small code footprint and very fast
  • Easy to write unit tests for
  • Part of the Symlex framework stack for agile Web development

Cons

  • While you can get commercial support, this library is not backed by a major company and has a small community
  • Does not render any HTML by itself (you can use any template engine and iterate over the fields though)
  • Don't use it if you are not comfortable reading at least small amounts of library code (you're welcome to ask for help via email or send additional docs as pull request)
