## Credits

* EPUBCheckFX uses [EPUBCheck](https://github.com/w3c/epubcheck), the official W3C conformance checker for EPUB publications, to perform the EPUB validation.
* EPUBCheckFX is an homage to the [pagina EPUB-Checker](https://github.com/paginagmbh/EPUB-Checker) however it is a completely independent project and does not share any code.
