NexSON validation

See the HoneyBadgerFish for full documentation of the NeXML to NexSON conversion convention. The set of keys that are checked by peyotl’s validator can be found at the bottom of peyotl/nexson_validation/schema.py (in an admittedly cryptic format)

Command-line

The NexSON validation code is used as a part of PUT and POST requests to the phylesystem-api. Warnings are allowed, but errors result in the request being rejected.

You can run the validator from the command line with:

$ ./scripts/nexson/validate_ot_nexson.py PATH-TO-NEXSON-FILE-HERE

If the script exits with code 0, then no errors were found. The standard output will also show a JSON description of warnings/errors.
