How many CFF files are valid?

[sdruskat]

This could be done by reusing cffconvert to validate the files (and record error messages).

I'm going to use https://docs.ropensci.org/jsonvalidate/, which gives clear error messages.

It could still be useful to compare with the output of another validator though. Hopefully, the results should be the same.

I can add myself in visualization

I think we have two levels of 'invalidity':

• the yaml file cannot be parsed
• the yaml file can be parsed but is not a valid CFF file

@amal-ghamdi, what do you think of having two hues of 'invalid' to distinguish between these two types?

[amal-ghamdi]

yes makes sense, this should also be reflected in the data @samharrison7 provides as well

[Bisaloo]

On my end, out of 3307 files, I can parse 3146 and 1804 of them are valid CFF files. I can provide a script later if these results differ from what @samharrison7 finds :slightly_smiling_face:

Got it!
