# SYNOPSIS

# in Perl
use MARC::Schema;

my $record = {
_id => 'fol05865967',
record => [
[ 'LDR', undef, undef, '_', '00661nam 22002538a 4500' ],
[ '001', undef, undef, '_', 'fol05865967' ],
[ '001', undef, undef, '_', 'field is not repeatable' ],
[ '245', '1', '0', 'a', 'Programming Perl /',
'c', 'Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen & Jon Orwant.',
'a', 'subfield is not repeatable',
'x', 'unknown subfield',
],
[ '999', undef, undef, '_', 'not a standard field']
]
};

# load default schema
my $schema = MARC::Schema->new();

# load custom schema from file
my $schema = MARC::Schema->new({ file => share/marc-schema.json });

# load custom schema
my $schema = MARC::Schema->new(
{ fields => {
'001' => { label => 'Control Number', repetable => 0 }
}
}
);
my @check = $schema->check($record);

# via the command line
$ marcvalidate t/camel.mrc
$ marcvalidate --schema marc_schema.json t/camel.mrc
$ marcvalidate --type XML marc.xml

# DESCRIPTION

MARC::Schema defines a set of MARC21 fields and subfields to validate Catmandu::MARC records. A schema is given as hash reference such as:

{ fields => {
LDR => {
positions =>
[ { position => '00-04', label => 'Record length' } ],
repeatable => 0,
},
'001' => { label => 'Control Number', repeatable => 0 }
}
}

For a more detailed description of the (default) schema see [MARC21 structure in JSON](https://pkiraly.github.io/2018/01/28/marc21-in-json/).

# METHODS

## check( $record \[, %options \] )

Check whether a given ["Catmandu::Importer::MARC"](https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu%3A%3AImporter%3A%3AMARC#EXAMPLE-ITEM) or ["MARC::Parser::\*"](https://metacpan.org/search?q=%22MARC%3A%3AParser%22) record confirms to the schema and return a list of detected violations. Possible options include:

- ignore\_unknown\_fields

Don't report fields not included in the schema.

- ignore\_unknown\_subfields

Don't report subfields not included in the schema.

Errors are given as list of hash references with keys `error`, `tag`,
`type` and `value` of the violated field. `error` contains a
human-readable error message for each violated field and/or subfield.

## check\_field( $field \[, %options \] )

Check whether a MARC21 field confirms to the schema. Use same options as method `check`.
