Great. :) I was also thinking that a JSON output format would be
useful for many:

Yes, I've previously omitted the file as I have not figured out how I
can send multiple files with cURL yet. Does the validator support
that?

Also I think the files "leading directory components" get removed on a
post which VIM doesn't like. Though if "multiple file post/upload"
does work, having even the file's basename would be super useful for
associating validator output with the right file. :)


Kind regards,
