UNICORN: New W3C Multiple Web Standards Validator

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

The web’s governing body has launched a new validation tool called Unicorn that checks the quality of your website’s code against multiple web standards at the same time.

You can find the new Unicorn “all-in-one validator” on the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) website at validator.w3.org/unicorn/.

The W3C maintains a number of free web-based tools for checking whether your web code is valid, and Unicorn makes several of these tools available under a single interface. Just plug in a URL and you can see your results for all of these tests on a single page:

  • HTML/XHTML markup validator
  • CSS validator
  • Atom or RSS feed validator
  • mobileOK, which tells you how friendly your site is to mobile visitors
