---+ IVOA Validation Capabilities

This page provides a comprehensive summary of the validation capabilities associated with published IVOA standards. Validators include any software which takes an entity purported to be compliant with one or more IVOA standards and tests this compliance. The entity may a string, a file, a library, or an on-line service. Generally validators may produce false positives, entities which seem to pass the validator but which may still be non-compliant. Only limited tests are done and some semantic aspects of a protocol may not be amenable to automated testing. However false negatives, where failure is indicated even though the entity is compliant, should be rare and should be reported to the party responsible for the validator.

The page is given as a table with entries corresponding to each of the entries in the IVOA standards page. IVOA members who develop validators or who know of validation capabilities should update this table as appropriate. In cases where multiple validators exist for a protocol, separate entries are given for each.

The JSAMP library/toolkit includes a fairly comprehensive set of validation tests (hubtester) for a SAMP Hub. In principle this can test both Standard and Web Profiles, though the web client is faked (it's not done from a browser). No SAMP client validator is included - such a thing wouldn't be able to do much, but could be a useful addition.

*STILTS*

STILTS votlint provides comprehensive validation for VOTable 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, includes schema/DTD validation as well as much more stringent tests. Can be used standalone, but API has hooks for programmatic incorporation into other validators that need to validate VOTables (taplint does this).

You can also validate against the VOTable schema (or for v1.0 the DTD) provided in the standard.

In any environment with Astropy installed, there is a *volint* command. The same output report can be generated programmatically by directly accessing the [[https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/api/astropy.io.votable.validate.html#astropy.io.votable.validate][validate() method]], which also optionally allows schema validation.

Notes:
   * *volint* warns about version 1.0 UCDs even though they are technically legal in VOTables, so the conesearch-required UCDs ID_MAIN, POS_EQ_RA_MAIN and POS_EQ_DEC_MAIN will cause warnings.
   * UCDs are validated with *volint*, but units are not. See UCD and VOUnits sections below for notes on independent astropy validation of those.
