For the current specification, see: https://github.com/validator/validator/wiki/Service-»-Input-»-textarea

To use Validator.nu as a Web service by POSTing a text field:

  • the client issues an HTTP request either to https://validator.nu/ or https://html5.validator.nu/
  • the request uses the POST method with an multipart/form-data entity body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded is not supported)
  • Common parameters are encoded as form fields
  • the document to check is included as the value of a form field called content.
  • the content field must be the last field in the submission.

The request should set the parser parameter explicitly. Content-Type is synthetized by selecting text/html or application/xml depending on the parser value and clamping the charset MIME type parameter to utf-8).

All field values including the document source must decode as UTF-8.
