[](#usage)

To check whether an XML file is a valid Google Merchant product feed run:

```

Found 547 items (invalid: 0).

```

By default report is shown only for invalid items. It is possible to force report for every item by running:

```
php bin/feed-validator.php path-to-xml-feed.xm
Normalizing XML file at /home/marco/Scrivania/google-shopping-feed.xml... done in 0.037 seconds.

               2: valid
               ...
```

### Generating a PHAR File

[](#generating-a-phar-file)

It is possible to generate a PHAR archive by running:

```
php bin/compile-phar.php
```

which will produce a file named `bin/google-merchant-validator.phar` that can be distributed.

**Note**: when using a PHAR file path to the XML file must be provided as an absolute path:

```
php google-merchant-validator.phar /absolute/path/to/xml-feed.xml
```
