5. YAML Validator

Configuration files used to launch a DDS-Router instance need to follow a specific structure, which is extensively described along section Configuration. The YAML Validator tool has been developed for the sole purpose of validating user-defined configuration files in an easy manner.

Note

Yaml Validator tool is supported for 3.0 configuration version only.

After having sourced the DDS Router workspace, execute the following command in order to validate a YAML configuration file:

ddsrouter_yaml_validator --config-file ddsrouter-config.yaml

Alternatively, the user may choose to validate against a different schema, by using instead the command below:

ddsrouter_yaml_validator --config-file ddsrouter-config.yaml --schema schema.json
