New Post: Get Validators to be applied to a given property/class

Hello,
I have been using FluentValidation w/ Web API 2.0 and things work very well for me. Recently, we wanted to start exposing our Validation rules to consumers via an API call. Consumers would simply call a known path to obtain the validation rules. This also helps a front-end interface dynamically query the API to obtain validation rules thereby preventing them from being duplicated on the API.

So for e.g. say I have a Site class with properties Name and Abbreviation. Say I have a Required validation for both the properties and a WithMessage() as well.

It would be awesome if I could get all validations that are applied to the Site object so that I could convert them into a string representation and eventually into a JSON object similar to the one shown below:

{
"entity" : "site",
"validations" : [

    {
     "element" : "name",
     "required" : "true",
     "message" : "Name is required"
    },
   {
      "element" : "abbreviation",
      "required": "true",
      "message" : "Abbreviation is required"
   }

]
}

The above is just an example. Essentially, I think I would create an extension that splits out a string representation of the messages for each property and eventually I would use that to build the JSON.

Does FluentValidation have any way I could get this data?

Any guidance would help!
