@FunctionalInterface
public interface Validator<T>

A generic validator, has a method to validate the object and add messages to a Errors.Collector. Simple example:

    Validator<String> validator = (str, collector) -> {
         if (null == str) {
             collector.fatal("String must not be null");
         }
     };
     Errors.Collector collector = Errors.collector();
     validator.validate("string", collector);
     // would throw an exception if invalid
     collector.collect().checkValid();

This interface is used by JwtValidator.Builder and EncryptedJwt.validate(java.util.List).
