Endvalid

Endvalid is a term encountered in software development literature and source code to denote the finalization point of a data validity check. In common usage, it signals that a given data item or batch has successfully passed all specified validation rules and is ready for downstream processing.

There is no universal standard or specification for endvalid. The term tends to appear in project-specific documentation, code comments, or as a function or method name, often written as endValid, end_valid, or endValidation in various languages.

Definition and scope: Endvalid may refer to a sentinel or boolean signal that marks the completion of validation for a record, block, or stream fragment. It can function as an indicator to proceed, to emit the validated data, or to trigger subsequent stages.

Implementation and usage considerations: In streaming or pipeline architectures, endvalid can be implemented as a state transition, a callback, or a flag. Important concerns include consistency of end signals, error handling if validation fails, and idempotence of the finalization step.

Related concepts include data validation, sentinel values, and validation results. While endvalid is not a widely standardized term, it appears in documentation to describe the finalization of validation, and authors may use it interchangeably with validityComplete or validationPassed.
