[removed] client-side vs. server-side validation

Question

Which is better to do client side or server side validation?

In our situation we are using

• jQuery and MVC.
• JSON data to pass between our Vi

Answer 1

JavaScript can be modified at runtime.

I suggest a pattern of creating a validation structure on the server, and sharing this with the client.

You'll need separate validation logic on both ends, ex:

"required" attributes on inputs client-side

field.length > 0 server-side.

But using the same validation specification will eliminate some redundancy (and mistakes) of mirroring validation on both ends.
