+ * This class assists in validating arguments. The validation methods are
+ * based along the following principles:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>An invalid {@code null} argument causes a {@link NullPointerException}.</li>
+ * <li>A non-{@code null} argument causes an {@link IllegalArgumentException}.</li>
+ * <li>An invalid index into an array/collection/map/string causes an {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException}.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>All exceptions messages are
+ * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax">format strings</a>
+ * as defined by the Java platform. For example:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Validate.isTrue(i &gt; 0, "The value must be greater than zero: %d", i);
+ * Validate.notNull(surname, "The surname must not be %s", null);
+ * </pre>
