This article presents a comparative study of two validation approaches in .NET – Data Annotations and Fluent Validation – analyzing their syntax, functionality, and other factors (such as readability, maintainability, and performance). The study begins by examining the Data Annotations approach, an in-built validation mechanism in the .NET Framework that uses validation attributes to validate model properties. While Data Annotations offers a simple syntax and is well-known to .NET developers, it may not be ideal for more complex validation scenarios and could become verbose and difficult to maintain. The study then introduces the Fluent Validation approach, which utilizes a fluent syntax to define validation rules in a more expressive, readable, and concise manner. With its flexible architecture and fluent API (application programming interface), Fluent Validation provides greater control over the validation process, enabling better maintainability and performance. The study concludes by highlighting the merits and drawbacks of both approaches, noting that the choice of validation approach will depend on the specific requirements of the project at hand.
