5 years ago @mwherman2000 It's a standard function of ABNF parsers that you can give them an ABNF grammar and then interactively test as many example instances as you want. 7-8 years ago I used an online ABNF parser to do this all the time but I recently looked and couldn't find it any more. But @peacekeeper might know of such a tool (or for that matter build it in an hour or so :-).

5 years ago Right now I've been using this one for quick testing: https://tools.ietf.org/tools/bap/
However, it only allows you to check if an ABNF is valid, it doesn't allow you to run test strings against it.

5 years ago Thank for you for the pointer ...it eventually led me to this: http://bnfparser2.sourceforge.net/index.html
You can download and run this web-based validator yourself or you can find a hosted version here: http://arran.fi.muni.cz/bnfparser2/
I'll try to check it out today.

5 years ago According to @talltree and @peacekeeper , Appendix A of this document is considered to be the most current working/draft version of the DID ABNF:
@talltree @peacekeeper @dmitrizagidulin Is there an online validator we can agree to use to objectively validate the DID ABNF against a set of DID URL test/use cases?
...a web site where we can copy&paste/upload the DID ABNF as well as a list of DID URL test/use cases?
