MVF Validator

The MVF Validator validates a Mappedin Venue Format (MVF) v3 bundle and reports any errors that would prevent it from being parsed. Drag and drop an MVFv3 .zip file onto the page to decompress it, verify its contents, and review a summary of any issues found.

How To Use

1. Open the MVF Validator.
2. Drag and drop an MVFv3 .zip file onto the upload area, or click it to select a file from the file system.
3. The validator decompresses the bundle, verifies its integrity, and reports the result.

Validation Steps

The MVF Validator follows the same decompression flow used when validating a bundle as part of a Geodata Sync pipeline. Validation occurs in two steps:

Decompression

The bundle is decompressed and checked against the MVFv3 structure. Errors at this step indicate that the archive is malformed or that one or more files do not match the expected schema. Each error is reported with the JSON path to the offending value and a description of the problem.

Integrity

After a successful decompression, the bundle is verified for integrity. Integrity errors indicate that the data within the bundle is internally inconsistent, such as a cross-reference that points to a feature that does not exist. Each integrity error is reported with its kind and the relevant properties.

Results

When no errors are found, the validator reports that the MVFv3 bundle is valid and decompressible. When errors are found, they are grouped by step (decompression or integrity) and displayed with enough detail to locate and fix each issue.
