Hibernate Validation Annotations List

The following are the main validation notes and explanations:

Annotations	Applicable data types	Description
@AssertFalse	Boolean, Boolean	Verify that the element value of the annotation is false
@AssertTrue	Boolean, Boolean	Verify that the element value of the annotation is true
@DecimalMax (value=x)	BigDecimal, BigInteger, String, byte,short, int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of number andcharsequence.	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is less than or equal to the value specified by @ Decimalmax
@DecimalMin (value=x)	BigDecimal, BigInteger, String, byte,short, int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of number andcharsequence.	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is less than or equal to the value specified by @ decimalmin
@Digits (integer= integer digits, fraction= decimal place)	BigDecimal, BigInteger, String, byte,short, int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of number andcharsequence.	To verify the integer and maximum number of decimal digits for the element value of the annotation
@Future	Java.util.Date, Java.util.Calendar; Additionally supported by HV, if Thejoda time Date/time API was on the class Path:any implementations ofreadablepartial an Dreadableinstant.	Verify that the annotation's element value (date type) is later than the current time
@Max (value=x)	BigDecimal, BigInteger, Byte, Short,int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive types. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type ofcharsequence (the numeric value represented by the character sequence is eval uated), any sub-type of number.	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is less than or equal to the value specified by @max
@Min (value=x)	BigDecimal, BigInteger, Byte, Short,int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive types. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of charsequence (the numeric value represented by the char sequence is evaluate d), any sub-type of number.	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is greater than or equal to the value specified by @min
@NotNull	Any type	Verify that the element value of the annotation is not null
@Null	Any type	Verify that the element value of the annotation is null
@Past	Java.util.Date, Java.util.Calendar; Additionally supported by HV, if Thejoda time Date/time API was on the class Path:any implementations ofreadablepartial an Dreadableinstant.	Verify that the annotation's element value (date type) is earlier than the current time
@Pattern (regex= Regular expression, flag=)	String. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of Charsequence.	Validates that the element value of the annotation matches the specified regular expression
@Size (min= min, max= max)	String, Collection, Map and arrays. Additionally supported by Hv:any sub-type of Charsequence.	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is within a specified interval of min and max (inclusive), such as character length, collection size
@Valid	Any non-primitive type (reference type)	Validates the associated object, such as an order object in the account object, specifying the validation order object
@NotEmpty	CharSequence,Collection,Map and Arrays	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is not null and is not empty (string length is not 0, collection size is not 0)
@Range (min= min, max= max)	CharSequence, Collection, Map and Arrays,BigDecimal, BigInteger, CharSequence, byte, short, int, long and the respective wrappers of the primitive types	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is between the minimum and maximum values
@NotBlank	CharSequence	Verifies that the element value of the annotation is not null (NOT NULL, the first space is removed after the length is 0), differs from @notempty, @NotBlank is applied only to strings and the whitespace is stripped of the string when compared
@Length (min= lower limit, max= upper limit)	CharSequence	Validates the element value length of annotations within min and Max intervals
@Email	CharSequence	Verify that the element value of the annotation is email, or you can specify a custom email format via regular expressions and flag
