Node-Restify Validation

node-restify-validation is a Node.js library designed to integrate request validation directly into REST services built using the `node-restify` framework. It allows developers to define validation schemas for path parameters (resources), query parameters, request body content, and HTTP headers directly within the `restify` route definition object. The current stable version is 1.3.0, released after 1.1.0, but the project explicitly states "Maintener wanted" in its README, indicating an abandoned or maintenance-only status with no active development. Its primary differentiator is its close integration with `restify`'s route definition, aiming to keep validation logic co-located with the route itself. It supports basic validation rules like `isRequired`, `isIn`, `isEmail`, `isNatural`, `isDictionary`, and `isObject` with nested properties and array validations.
