Spring Boot Validations Explained | @Valid, Annotations & Custom Validation

Java Spring Boot Interview Q29 !!

In this video, we dive deep into Spring Boot Validation with a practical REST API example. You’ll learn how to validate a user creation request using powerful validation annotations such as:

@NotNull, @NotBlank, @NotEmpty, @Size, @Email, @Pattern, @Min, @Max, @Positive, @Negative, @Digits, @Past, @Future, and the @Valid annotation in Spring Boot.

We’ll also cover:

1) Request validation in Spring Boot REST APIs
2) Using @Valid and @Validated annotations correctly
3) Handling validation errors with a Global Exception Handler (@RestControllerAdvice)
4) The complete step-by-step process of creating your own custom annotation for validation
5) How to apply the custom annotation in real-world REST API scenarios
6) Best practices for building production-ready Spring Boot applications with validations

This is a complete Spring Boot validation tutorial — from built-in annotations to creating and using custom validators — with code examples you can apply directly in your projects.
