This document is obsolete.
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/orhttps://html5.validator.nu/ - the request uses the POST method with an
multipart/form-dataentity body (application/x-www-form-urlencodedis 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
contentfield 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.
