.. _validating:
Validating HDMF Data
====================
Validation of NWB files is available through ``pynwb``. See the `PyNWB documentation
<https://pynwb.readthedocs.io/en/stable/validation.html>`_ for more information.
--------
.. note::
A simple interface for validating HDMF structured data through the command line like for PyNWB files is not yet
implemented. If you would like this functionality to be available through :py:mod:`~hdmf`, then please upvote
`this issue <https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf/issues/473>`_.
..
Validating HDMF structured data is handled by a command-line tool available in :py:mod:`~hdmf`.
The validator can be invoked like so:
.. code-block:: bash
python -m hdmf.validate -p namespace.yaml test.h5
This will validate the file ``test.h5`` against the specification in ``namespace.yaml``.
