/**
 * The Validator interface defines a set of methods for canonicalizing and
 * validating untrusted input. Implementors should feel free to extend this
 * interface to accommodate their own data formats. Rather than throw exceptions,
 * this interface returns boolean results because not all validation problems
 * are security issues. Boolean returns allow developers to handle both valid
 * and invalid results more cleanly than exceptions.
 * <P>
 * Implementations must adopt a "whitelist" approach to validation where a
 * specific pattern or character set is matched. "Blacklist" approaches that
 * attempt to identify the invalid or disallowed characters are much more likely
 * to allow a bypass with encoding or other tricks.
