Getting started

Include dependency in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>no.difi.vefa</groupId>
  <artifactId>validator-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Start validating business documents:

// Create a new validator using validation artifacts from Difi.
Validator validator = ValidatorBuilder.newValidator().build();

// Validate business document.
Validation validation = validator.validate(Paths.get("/path/to/document.xml"));

// Print result of validation.
System.out.println(validation.getReport().getFlag());

The validator is expensive to create, one instance should be enough.
