Explain the basic input validation approaches?

Input validation is a crucial aspect of application and business security. It involves checking user inputs to ensure that they meet the expected criteria before processing. Proper input validation helps prevent a variety of security vulnerabilities, such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows. Here are some basic input validation approaches commonly employed in the development of secure applications:
