About The Nu Html Checker

The Nu Html Checker, also called vnu, checks HTML, CSS, and SVG documents for unintended mistakes. You can run it from the command line, use it in scripts, or deploy it as an HTTP service with a browser interface and REST API.

It offers binaries for Linux, Windows, and macOS, plus a portable JAR or a WAR for servlet containers. The portable Java packages require Java 17 or later; the precompiled platform binaries include a Java runtime.

Strengths

  • Checks HTML, CSS, and SVG
  • Can run in scripts or as a self-hosted HTTP service
  • Provides precompiled binaries for three desktop platforms

Limitations

  • The portable JAR and WAR packages require Java 17 or later
  • Deploying the WAR package requires a servlet container such as Tomcat
