API v2 validator

Since v4.107.0, an API validator is part of the toolset. It shows to what extend the current API v2 output conforms to the specifications and additional requirements.

Types of checks

The checks are categorised into three domains:

1. API Catalogue / XSD specifications compliance
2. Data model compliance
3. Other

For each check a fail / warn / ignore criterium is set.

Automatic execution

The tool is managed by Workflow managers (since v4.109.0, before only by Administrators), who can select when the validator is run. The default settings run the validation process:

• On the publication or withdrawl of any QC Item.
• After any new release of qc.ebu.io.

Workflow Managers can also run the tool manually and edit the settings, descriptions, enable/disable checks, etc.
