How do I validate a IIIF manifest?

Question

I am trying to display a manifest from another IIIF server in my local viewer, but it doesn't seem to be working. How do I confirm the manifest is valid/not broken?

Answer 1

There's a validator on the IIIF website that will validate IIIF Manifests, at http://iiif.io/api/presentation/validator/service/.

If you've got a lot of manifests to test, you can also download the validator itself at http://github.com/IIIF/metadata-api/.

Answer 2

There's also the Tripoli manifest validator: https://github.com/DDMAL/tripoli

And a live version of Tripoli: https://validate.musiclibs.net/
