validator.nu

ruby client library for the validator.nu HTML5 validation API

Installation & Usage

gem install validator.nu
require 'validator.nu'
require 'uri'
Validator.nu(URI.parse('http://bbc.co.uk'))

# If you want to use a private version of the validator.nu application
Validator.nu(URI.parse('http://bbc.co.uk'), :host => 'validator.mine.com', :port => 8808)

# or you can send a document to validate to the service directly
Validator.nu( document )

# or even, with gzip compression
Validator.nu( document, :gzip => true )

# it's a good idea to send the original content type and character encoding. The default is 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
Validator.nu( document, :content_type => 'text/html; charset=utf-8' )

Todo

  • gzip Accept-Encoding to enable gzip transport of the response from the validator.

  • output pure JSON ?

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
