The BIDS Validator#

The BIDS Validator is a web application, command-line utility, and Javascript/Typescript library for assessing compliance with the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) standard.

Getting Started#

In most cases, the simplest way to use the validator is to browse to the BIDS Validator web page:

The web validator runs in-browser, and does not transfer data to any remote server.

In some contexts, such as when working on a remote server, it may be easier to use the command-line. The BIDS Validator can be run with the Deno runtime (see Deno - Installation for detailed installation instructions):

deno run -A jsr:@bids/validator
