Roadmap ​

The rest-data-validator project aims to continually evolve with the needs of developers and the dynamics of RESTful API design. Below is a tentative roadmap of features and improvements we're exploring:

Upcoming Features ​

• Nested Validation Support: Implement validation for complex, nested data structures to accommodate intricate API schemas.

• Asynchronous Validators: Introduce validators capable of handling asynchronous operations, useful for database lookups or external API validations.

• Internationalization: Offer localized error messages to better serve a global user base.

• Sanitization Enhancements: Expand sanitization utilities for preprocessing data, ensuring robust input handling before validation.

• Framework Middleware: Develop middleware for seamless integration with popular server frameworks like Express and NestJS.

• Runtime Type System Integration: Explore compatibility with runtime type validation libraries to enhance JavaScript validation capabilities.

• CLI Tooling: Build CLI tools for generating validator schemas from TypeScript type definitions, aiding in rapid development cycles.

• Plugin Architecture: Create an extensible plugin system allowing custom validators and sanitizers, fostering community-driven enhancements.

• Performance Optimization: Profile and optimize the core validation logic to efficiently handle large datasets and reduce overhead in high-throughput environments.

• GUI for Schema Building: Provide a graphical interface for constructing and exporting validation schemas, streamlining the setup process for rest-data-validator.

We welcome community input and contributions to help shape the future of rest-data-validator. If you have ideas or features you’d like to see, please open an issue to start the conversation.

Note: The roadmap is subject to change and reflects current planning and priorities.
