Data type validation is customarily carried out on one or more simple data fields.
 
The simplest kind of data type validation verifies that the individual characters provided through user input are consistent with the expected characters of one or more known [[Primitive data type|primitive data types]] as defined in a programming language or data storage and retrieval mechanism.
