FluentAnnotationsValidator Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for FluentAnnotationsValidator - a modular, culture-aware validation framework that elegantly bridges System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations and FluentValidation. It supports localization, caching, ASP.NET Core integration, and a fluent DSL for expressive rule configuration.

Whether you're integrating it into your application or contributing to its internals, this guide will help you understand its architecture, customize its behavior, and extend it for production-grade APIs.
