AMP HTML ⚡ Validator

A validator for the AMP HTML format.

If you just want to validate a page that you're looking at in your web browser, add #development=1 to your URL and look for the validation messages in the Javascript console. See also our documentation over at ampproject.org.

For the additional choices listed below, install Node.js version 4.X on your system (tested with v4.4.2). E.g., by downloading or by using a package manager or by using NVM.

Using the command-line tool (Beta!)

  • Type ./index.js in this directory to get started:
$ ./index.js testdata/feature_tests/minimum_valid_amp.html
testdata/feature_tests/minimum_valid_amp.html: PASS

$ ./index.js testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html
testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:23:2 The attribute 'charset' may not appear in tag 'meta name= and content='.
testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:26:2 The tag 'script' is disallowed except in specific forms.
testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:32:2 The mandatory attribute 'height' is missing in tag 'amp-img'. (see https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/amp-img.html)
testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:34:2 The attribute 'width' in tag 'amp-ad' is set to the invalid value '100%'. (see https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/amp-ad.html)
...

If you wish to install the Validator as a system command, install the NPM package manager (e.g. using apt-get in Ubuntu Linux) and run npm install -g in this directory. After that, you may type amp-validator in any directory to invoke the validator.

Using the NodeJS API (Beta!)

This API is new and still experimental, feedback is especially welcome. We may try to port to earlier versions of NodeJS if sufficient interest exists.

'use strict';
const ampValidator = require('amp-validator');

ampValidator.getInstance().then((validator) => {
  const result = validator.validateString('<html>Hello, world.</html>');
  ((result.status === 'PASS') ? console.log : console.error)(result.status);
  for (const error of result.errors) {
    let msg = 'line ' + error.line + ', col ' + error.col + ': ' + error.message;
    if (error.specUrl !== null) {
      msg += ' (see ' + error.specUrl + ')';
    }
    ((error.severity === 'ERROR') ? console.error : console.warn)(msg);
  }
});

Building a Custom Validator

This is only useful for development - e.g. when making changes to validator.js, and it's rough aroung the edges. Below are instructions for Linux Ubuntu 14.

Install these packages using apt-get:

  • npm
  • openjdk-7-jre
  • protobuf-compiler
  • python-protobuf
  • python2.7

In addition, install Node.js version 4.X on your system (tested with v4.4.2). E.g., by downloading or by using a package manager or by using NVM.

Then, run build.py. This creates dist/validator_minified.js, which is equivalent to the validator deployed at cdn.ampproject.org. You may now use the --validator_js command line flag to index.js to use this validator.

$ node index.js --validator_js dist/validator_minified.js testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html
testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:23:2 The attribute 'charset' may not appear in tag 'meta name= and content='.

testdata/feature_tests/several_errors.html:32:2 The mandatory attribute 'height' is missing in tag 'amp-img'. (see https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/amp-img.html)
