# Validation Module Documentation Reference

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Validation Module v2.0

The Validation module can verify that the contents of a message in a Mule flow match specific
criteria. The module provides explicit messages about the cause of an exception in a flow. Based on
the specific data you are validating, you can customize the exception message that is displayed in
the logs.

A module that performs data validations. If the validation fails, an error is thrown. The error type
might vary but it will always be a child of VALIDATION:VALIDATION.

If a message does not meet the defined validation criteria, the validation fails and returns a
`VALIDATION` error (such as `VALIDATION:INVALID_URL`), which is a `ValidationException`. By default,
this message includes a meaningful message that you can customize.
