rfc-preptool

node-rfc-preptool

Prototype implementation of draft-iab-rfcv3-preptool, used for checking the validity of that Internet-Draft.

This tool is NOT designed to be fast. It's designed to match the spec literally. Many of the steps (in the steps/ directory) could be done all in the same pass, avoiding XML parsing and serialization.

Pre-requisites

You'll need the following installed on your system:

• xmllint from libxml2
• nodejs
• A C++ compiler, in order to install libxmljs

On OSX, make sure XCode and it's command-line tools are installed. Install homebrew (for example) then:

brew install libxml2 node

Installation

npm install -g rfc-preptool
