PCN Linter

Because PCN data can be rife with errors

PCN Linter is a validation tool that adheres to PCN Spec.

Usage

npm install -g pcnlint

Then you can...

pcnlint pizza-parlor.json

Or...

cat pizza-parlor.json | pcnlint

When using file names as parameters, you can chain together multiple files to lint them all together.

Or...

var pcnlint = require('pcnlint');
pcnlint.testDocument(jsonDoc, {reporter: 'json'});

Options

Currently pcnlint will take a list of files to lint (or it will read from stdin if no files are provided).

pcnlint also accepts mocha's test reporter parameters, --reporter and -R to customize test result output. This can be very useful when using pcnlint inside an application, as output can be direct JSON:

cat pizza-parlor.json | pcnlint --reporter json

All other mocha reporters are available.

Todo

• Get the PCN-Spec example to pass
• Support input from stdin
• Get other PCN examples to pass
• Prettify error output
• Support mocha reporters as an option
• Support recursive file input
