gtfs-validator

==============

A Java framework for GTFS validation and statistics.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/conveyal/gtfs-validator.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/conveyal/gtfs-validator) 

How is this different than the Google-supported validator?

=============

The Google TransitFeed-based [validator](https://github.com/google/transitfeed/blob/master/feedvalidator.py) is written in Python, and is quite slow on large feeds.

This validator uses the [Onebusaway-GTFS](https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway-gtfs-modules) library, written in Java and is far faster at processing large feeds. 

Downloads

==============

Snapshots are available [here](build.staging.obanyc.com/archiva/repository/snapshots/com/conveyal/gtfs-validation-lib/)

Using this framework

==============

There are then multiple options for use:

1. Use the pre-built snapshot JAR. `java -server -Xmx4g -Xms3g -jar gtfs-validator.jar yourGtfs.zip`

2. Import the services provided and build your own validation.

3. Use the gtfs-validator-json and gtfs-validator-webapp according to the directions in those folders. 

==============

ValidatorMain

The ValidatorMain class logs a number of common GTFS errors to Standard Out on the console when run as a JAR. This includes:

 * Problems with route names

 * Bad shape coordinates

 * Unused stops

 * Duplicate stops

 * Missing stop coordinates

 * Missing stop times for trips

 * Stop times out of sequence

 * Duplicated trips (same times)

 * Overlapping trips when block_id is present

 * Missing shapes and shape coordinates

 * “Reversed” shapes with directions that do not agree with stop times.

 * Exhaustively going through the calendar and printing active service IDs and number of trips for that day.

 * Dates with no active service
