System and method for input data validation and conversion

Abstract:

Implementations generally relate to a method of adding asynchronous validation and conversion capabilities to web components by adding an attribute to an existing web component accessed through, for example, a GUI interface. Such attribute will specify what type of validation or formatting conversion is expected. The web component may provide feedback on errors or changes in an interactive fashion for the user based on web service data. Feedback may be provided to the user asynchronously, without waiting for all user inputs to be validated or converted before displaying the errors or changes to the user. The web component remains completely interactive to the user even while validation or conversion is in progress on the server. Furthermore, the web component will handle multiple user inputs and only display the validation or conversion results from the last user input.
