I know what the jQuery Validation plugin is. I know the jQuery Unobtrusive Validation library was made by Microsoft and is included in the ASP.NET MVC framework. But I cannot find a single online source that explains what it is. What is the difference between the standard jQuery Validation library and the unobtrusive version?

Brad Wilson has a couple great articles on unobtrusive validation and unobtrusive ajax.

It is also shown very nicely in this Pluralsight video in the section on AJAX and JavaScript.

Basically, it is simply Javascript validation that doesn't pollute your source code with its own validation code. This is done by making use of data- attributes in HTML.
