This project is still useful for simple schema validation of SOS responses and templates. It is used in the build process of the i52n-SOS project. However, comprehensive tests ensuring IOOS SOS template compliance have not been implemented in this project.

For more thorough IOOS SOS standard validation see the ioos-sos-compliance-tests project.

###Usage

Validation tool for IOOS SOS responses. Use it:

• As part of your Java build process (jUnit tests/suites)
• On the command line, against a live SOS server
• On the command line, against a directory of XML files
• On the command line, against the IOOS SOS GitHub template repository

Validate the IOOS GitHub SOS milestone 1.0 templates:

java -jar ioos-sos-validator.jar -gh 1.0
