Can I rely only on client-side validation?

Can I rely only on client-side validation for my web forms?

While client-side validation improves user experience, it's not enough on its own. You should also implement server-side validation.

Why is server-side validation necessary if I have client-side validation?

Server-side validation is crucial for security. It prevents malicious users from bypassing client-side checks.

What are some common methods for server-side validation?

Common methods include using libraries or frameworks that provide validation functions, and writing custom validation logic.

Can you give me an example of a security risk if I only use client-side validation?

Sure! A common risk is that a user can manipulate the client-side code to submit invalid data, like bypassing required fields.
