About

The jQuery Validation plugin provides drop-in validation for your existing forms, while making it easy to customize to fit your application.

Polyfill.io is an open-source JavaScript library that provides modern web API features to older browsers that do not natively support them.

After a supply chain attack in 2024 involving its cdn.polyfill.io domain, the service was discontinued and is now safely mirrored and maintained by Cloudflare under independent management.
