Overview
jQuery Validation Plugin 1.22.1 adds client-side validation to existing HTML forms. The validate() API configures rules and customization, while normalizers and errorElement settings support value preprocessing and accessible error markup.

Key features
Apply validation to a form with validate()
The README shows loading jQuery and the plugin and calling validate() on a form, keeping integration small for existing markup.
Sources: [1]
Adapt rules with custom methods and normalizers
The documentation points to custom methods for application-specific validation and normalizers for transforming values before validation.
Sources: [1]
Improve screen-reader output with errorElement and ARIA attributes
When errorElement is configured, the plugin can associate the generated error element with the input through aria-describedby.
Sources: [1]
Best fit
Fits existing jQuery forms that need consistent validation behavior

Supplemental curator note
Version 1.22.1 accepts jQuery ^1.7, ^2.0, ^3.1, or ^4.0 as peers. Client-side validation should not be treated as a security boundary; keep authoritative validation on the server as well.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Install pinned jQuery Validation 1.22.1 with jQuery 4.0.0
Create an isolated npm project with the reviewed validation plugin and jQuery versions pinned.
demo=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/jquery-validation.XXXXXX") && cd "$demo" && npm init -y >/dev/null && npm install --save-exact jquery-validation@1.22.1 jquery@4.0.0 - 2
Verify package versions
Require jQuery Validation and jQuery to resolve to the reviewed versions.
test "$(node -e "const fs=require('fs');const v=p=>JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p)).version;console.log(v('node_modules/jquery-validation/package.json')+'/'+v('node_modules/jquery/package.json'))")" = '1.22.1/4.0.0' - 3
Check distributed bundles and the jQuery 4 peer range
Verify the main/additional bundles and jQuery 4 peer support without starting a browser.
test -f node_modules/jquery-validation/dist/jquery.validate.js && test -f node_modules/jquery-validation/dist/additional-methods.js && node -e "const p=require('./node_modules/jquery-validation/package.json');if(!p.peerDependencies.jquery.includes('^4.0'))process.exit(1)"
