Overview

========

[![Accord](assets/accord-logo-light.png)](http://wix.github.io/accord)

Accord is a validation library written in and for Scala. Compared to [JSR 303](http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=303) and [Scalaz validation](https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz/blob/scalaz-seven/core/src/main/scala/scalaz/Validation.scala) it aims to provide the following:

* __Composable__: Because JSR 303 is annotation based, validation rules cannot be composed (annotations cannot receive other annotations as parameters). This is a real problem with some Scala features, for example `Option`s or collections. Accord's validation rules are trivially composable.

* __Simple__: Accord provides a dead-simple story for validation rule definition by leveraging macros, as well as the validation call site (see example below).

* __Self-contained__: Accord is macro-based but completely self-contained, and consequently only relies on the Scala runtime and reflection libraries.

* __Integrated__: Other than providing its own DSL and matcher library, Accord is designed to easily integrate with the larger Scala ecosystem, and provides out-of-the-box support for [Scala.js](http://www.scala-js.org), as well as integration modules for [Spring Validation](http://wix.github.io/accord/spring3.html), [Specs2](http://wix.github.io/accord/specs2.html) and [ScalaTest](http://wix.github.io/accord/scalatest.html).
