client-side validation and client-side form validation

Question

When I looked into client-side validation I found the term "client-side form validation", and it was described somewhat similar as client-side validation. My question is, if these terms are interchangeably, or if they have different meanings

Answer 1

Client-side form validation specifically refers to validation of forms. Refer here

Client side validation refers to validating data on client side not specifically forms. It can be any type of validation such as clicking links which a user is not supposed to click or accessing unauthorized part of the website/app or even validating user input via form (which is client-side form validation)
