About:
VNU is the official Nu Markup Checker, a command-line tool and web service for validating HTML, SVG, and MathML documents. It checks markup against web standards to ensure correctness and accessibility. The tool provides detailed error reporting to help developers fix issues quickly.
Key Features:
  • Validates HTML5, SVG, and MathML documents
  • Provides detailed, actionable error messages
  • Runs as a command-line tool or standalone web service
  • Configurable validation rules and output formats
Use Cases:
  • CI/CD pipeline validation for web projects

Alternatives:
  • html5validator – Python-based validator, often faster but less comprehensive than VNU
  • W3C Validator – Online service, requires network access and has rate limits
