Why not validate csvy files?

For the moment csvlint doesn't validate csvy files (example).

csvy is an effort to simplify data description and control:

• metadata is in YAML format
• metadata is published inside the csv file

See http://csvy.org for more information.

Note: csvy is using JSON Table Schema semantic (which is already recognized by csvlint).

Ah, interesting, using Jekyll-style YAML frontmatter. Not seen that before, that might be worth incuding. Thanks!

Hi @CharlesNepote Charles - I think this feature request is better filed against the CSVlint library https://github.com/theodi/csvlint.rb/
