Tool usage guide
The SemVer Validator checks if a version number follows the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification, ensuring accurate and consistent versioning in software projects.
Background
A developer is about to publish a new version of their npm package and needs to confirm the version string is correct.
Problem
The version '2.1.0-beta.1' must be validated to prevent publishing issues or compatibility problems.
How to use
Enter '2.1.0-beta.1' into the version input field and submit for validation.
Outcome
The tool confirms the version is valid, allowing the developer to proceed with publishing.
Background
A team is finalizing release notes for a software update and wants to verify the version number mentioned.
Problem
The version '3.0.0-rc.1+exp.sha.5114f85' is complex and might contain formatting errors that could confuse users.
How to use
Input the version string into the validator to check its compliance with SemVer 2.0.0.
Outcome
The tool validates the version, ensuring it is correctly formatted for clear documentation.
Semantic Versioning (SemVer) is a versioning scheme using MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH numbers to communicate changes in software, with optional pre-release and build metadata.
The tool supports standard SemVer 2.0.0 formats, including versions with pre-release identifiers (e.g., 1.0.0-alpha) and build metadata (e.g., 1.0.0+build.1).
No, the validation is not case-sensitive for pre-release identifiers, but it adheres to SemVer rules for allowed characters and structure.
The tool returns an error message explaining why the version is invalid, such as incorrect format or missing required parts.
No, this tool validates one version number per use. For batch validation, you would need to process versions individually or use a different tool.
