Validate your Data Package descriptor online
To help users with creation of Data Packages we have implemented a descriptor validation tool:
https://datahub.io/tools/validate
Now users can check the Data Package descriptor to be sure they have no errors in it.
How to use it
The descriptor should be stored online, e.g. on the github.
You should provide the URL to the descriptor (datapackage.json) file and press 'Validate' button.
Online validator tool validates only the descriptor file.
Here you can read about the full data validation on the DataHub.
