=head1 NAME

CPAN::Meta::Validator - validate CPAN distribution metadata structures

=head1 VERSION

version 2.120921

=head1 SYNOPSIS

my $struct = decode_json_file('META.json');

my $cmv = CPAN::Meta::Validator->new( $struct );

unless ( $cmv->is_valid ) {
my $msg = "Invalid META structure. Errors found:\n";
$msg .= join( "\n", $cmv->errors );
die $msg;
}

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module validates a CPAN Meta structure against the version of the
the specification claimed in the C<meta-spec> field of the structure.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

my $cmv = CPAN::Meta::Validator->new( $struct )

The constructor must be passed a metadata structure.

=head2 is_valid

if ( $cmv->is_valid ) {
...
}

Returns a boolean value indicating whether the metadata provided
is valid.

=head2 errors

warn( join "\n", $cmv->errors );

Returns a list of errors seen during validation.

=head2 Check Methods

=over

=item *

check_map($spec,$data)

Checks whether a map (or hash) part of the data structure conforms to the
appropriate specification definition.

=item *

check_list($spec,$data)

Checks whether a list (or array) part of the data structure conforms to
the appropriate specification definition.

=item *

check_lazylist($spec,$data)

Checks whether a list conforms, but converts strings to a single-element list

=back

=head2 Validator Methods

=over

=item *

header($self,$key,$value)

Validates that the header is valid.

Note: No longer used as we now read the data structure, not the file.

=item *

url($self,$key,$value)

Validates that a given value is in an acceptable URL format

=item *

urlspec($self,$key,$value)

Validates that the URL to a META specification is a known one.

=item *

string_or_undef($self,$key,$value)

Validates that the value is either a string or an undef value. Bit of a
catchall function for parts of the data structure that are completely user
defined.

=item *

string($self,$key,$value)

Validates that a string exists for the given key.

=item *

file($self,$key,$value)

Validate that a file is passed for the given key. This may be made more
thorough in the future. For now it acts like \&string.

=item *

exversion($self,$key,$value)

Validates a list of versions, e.g. '<= 5, >=2, ==3, !=4, >1, <6, 0'.

=item *

version($self,$key,$value)

Validates a single version string. Versions of the type '5.8.8' and '0.00_00'
are both valid. A leading 'v' like 'v1.2.3' is also valid.

=item *

boolean($self,$key,$value)

Validates for a boolean value. Currently these values are '1', '0', 'true',
'false', however the latter 2 may be removed.

=item *

license($self,$key,$value)

Validates that a value is given for the license. Returns 1 if an known license
type, or 2 if a value is given but the license type is not a recommended one.

=item *

custom_1($self,$key,$value)

Validates that the given key is in CamelCase, to indicate a user defined
keyword and only has characters in the class [-_a-zA-Z]. In version 1.X
of the spec, this was only explicitly stated for 'resources'.

=item *

custom_2($self,$key,$value)

Validates that the given key begins with 'x_' or 'X_', to indicate a user
defined keyword and only has characters in the class [-_a-zA-Z]

=item *

identifier($self,$key,$value)

Validates that key is in an acceptable format for the META specification,
for an identifier, i.e. any that matches the regular expression
qr/[a-z][a-z_]/i.

=item *

module($self,$key,$value)

Validates that a given key is in an acceptable module name format, e.g.
'Test::CPAN::Meta::Version'.
