ASP.Net Core support

I am interested in using validate.js in place of Microsoft's jQuery Validation (unobtrustive) plugin. Aside from rewriting all of the validation again (gross), is there any other way I can currently do this?

Ideas

• Override every validation attribute's AddValidation method to add html attributes that validate.js will understand (if any).
• Create a script that takes Microsoft's html attributes and loads them into validate.js.
• Dynamically generate JSON for validate.js, based on applied C# attributes.

Questions

• Is validate.js at all compatible with Microsoft's data-* attributes?
• Can validate.js respond to html attributes at all and if so, what are they?
• If these ideas are not currently possible, would you be interested in a contribution to address this?
  And if so, what would be the best option for everyone?
