Server Web API
<-- Where to get validation files



Server web API

When you run ion-docval as a local minimal web service, you can write your own tooling to make use of the web service API. You can use the two client implementations as examples, but the API itself is pretty basic.

There are currently two endpoints: one to perform the validation of a single document, and one to retrieve a list of document types that are configured by the server, and their keywords.

Validating a document

  • Endpoint URI (with default settings): http://localhost:35791/api/validate
  • Method: POST
  • Content-Type: application/xml
  • Accept: either application/xml or application/json
  • Query parameters: keyword (optional, keyword derivation is used if no keyword is provided)

The body of the POST should contain the XML data itself.

Sample response (JSON):

  "error_count": 1,
