## Class EmailValidator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.hibernate.validator.internal.constraintvalidators.EmailValidator

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ConstraintValidator<Email,CharSequence>

      public class EmailValidator
      extends Object
      implements ConstraintValidator<Email,CharSequence>

  Checks that a given character sequence (e.g. string) is a well-formed email address.

  The specification of a valid email can be found in RFC 2822 and one can come up with a regular expression matching all valid email addresses as per specification. However, as this article discusses it is not necessarily practical to implement a 100% compliant email validator. This implementation is a trade-off trying to match most email while ignoring for example emails with double quotes or comments.
