Package org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation

@NullMarked package org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation

Support classes for integrating a JSR-303 Bean Validation provider (such as Hibernate Validator) into a Spring ApplicationContext and in particular with Spring's data binding and validation APIs.

The central class is LocalValidatorFactoryBean which defines a shared ValidatorFactory/Validator setup for availability to other Spring components.
