# Python wrappers and CLI for EpubCheck

[![Linux/Windows/macOS Tests](https://github.com/titusz/epubcheck/workflows/Tests/badge.svg)](https://github.com/titusz/epubcheck/actions?query=workflow%3ATests)
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/epubcheck.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/epubcheck/)

> A command line tool and lib that wraps EpubCheck for Python.

## Introduction

The original [EpubCheck](https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck) is the standard Java-based validation
tool for EPUB maintained by [DAISY Consortium](https://daisy.org/) on behalf of the
[W3C](https://www.w3.org/publishing/epubcheck_fundraising), originally developed by the
[IDPF](http://idpf.org/).

This package provides a Python libary and command line tool for convenient validation of EPUB files
by wrapping the original [EpubCheck 4.2.6](https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck/releases/tag/v4.2.6).

- Free software: BSD license

## Installation

If you have Python on your system you can do the usual:

```
$ pip install epubcheck
```

You must have Python & Java installed on your system. The original Java EpubCheck command line
client itself is bundled in the [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/epubcheck/) package.

This package is tested with Python 3.8 - 3.12 on Linux, Mac and Windows. It should also work with
PyPy.

## Quickstart

### Command line usage examples

Validata all epub files in the current directory:

```
$ epubcheck
```

Validate a single EPUB file:

```
$ epubcheck /path/to/book.epub
```

Validate all files in /epubfolder and create a detailed Excel report::

```
$ epubcheck /path/epubfolder --xls report.xls
```

Show command line help::

```
$ epubcheck -h
```

### Using epubcheck as a python library

```python
from epubcheck import EpubCheck
result = EpubCheck('src/epubcheck/samples/invalid.epub')
print(result.valid)
print(result.messages)
```

## Credits

EpubCheck is a project coordinated by [IDPF](http://idpf.org/). Most of the EpubCheck functionality
comes from the schema validation tool [Jing](https://relaxng.org/jclark/jing.html) and schemas that
were developed by [IDPF](http://idpf.org/) and [DAISY](https://daisy.org/). Initial EpubCheck
development was largely done at [Adobe Systems](https://www.adobe.com/).
