Validate a `Model`¶

The Validator is the equivalent of a spelling checker: it can check that each item in a model has all of the information it needs, but it can’t check whether it means what you intend it to. Thus even if a model is valid, it could still be the equivalent of correctly-spelled nonsense.

Validate a model against the CellML specification

    // Validate the model: check for syntactic and semantic errors.

    // Create a Validator instance and pass the model for checking.
    auto validator = libcellml::Validator::create();
    validator->validateModel(model);
    auto isValid = validator->errorCount() == 0;
    printIssues(validator);

    # Validate the model: check for syntactic and semantic errors.

    # Create a Validator instance and pass the model for checking.
    validator = Validator()
    validator.validateModel(model)
    print_issues_to_terminal(validator)

Once a model has been passed to a Validator instance, the validator’s internal logger will contain a list of any of the issues which have been encountered during the checking process. A model can be said to be valid - that is, conforming to the CellML normative specification - if the validator’s logger contains no issues with a level of ERROR.

For more information on how to use any of the classes which record issues, please see the Get Issues section.
