FAQPage Schema

How do I validate my project.faf file against the FAF format specification?▼

To validate a project.faf file, run the validate command to check YAML syntax, required fields, format_version, and IANA media type compliance, returning clear errors and guidance for any deviations found.

What does YAML compliance check for in an application/vnd.faf+yaml file?▼

YAML compliance checks for syntax correctness, required metadata fields, format_version alignment, and architecture constraints to ensure the project.faf file meets the IANA-registered application/vnd.faf+yaml specification.

When should I run FAF validation during my development workflow?▼

Run FAF validation after edits, during pre-publish checks, or as an ongoing quality gate across development workflows to detect missing fields and format_version misalignments before distribution or sync.

Can I use this validation to catch missing required fields before publishing?▼

Yes, FAF validation verifies required metadata and architecture constraints, detecting missing fields and format_version misalignments before publish or sync to ensure full compliance with the specification.

What is the best way to ensure IANA media type compliance for project.faf files?▼

The best way to ensure IANA media type compliance is to validate the project.faf file against the application/vnd.faf+yaml specification, which checks YAML syntax, required fields, and format version adherence.

Why does my project.faf file fail format_version validation?▼

Format_version validation fails when the project.faf file contains misalignments between the declared format version and the IANA-registered specification requirements, which are detected during pre-publish or ongoing quality gate checks.
