OPDS Validator

[Benoît Larroque]

Hello everyone,

We have been speaking for a long time about creating a validator for OPDS.
We already have a working RelaxNG grammar for the standard (v1.0 and
1.1). So basic syntax/grammar validation was just a use of jing away.
However jing is not a very well know tool, and I have yet to hear
about anyone who has actually been using it so far (for OPDS
validation)...

In order to simplify the validation process, I have specialized jing
to only handle OPDS files. So we now have validator command line
program.
The project, written in java, is hosted on github :
https://github.com/zetaben/opds-validator

To get it even less obtrusive, I'm also working on a web validator,
stay tuned (my first prototype is already working).

Happy validation.

Best regards,

Benoit Larroque

That's an important first step towards a full online validation tool for OPDS 1.0/1.1 !

We'll need to extract all the MUST/MUST NOT/SHOULD/SHOULD NOT from the spec to make sure that things that we can't cover with the Relax NG are also checked and reported.
