 # Data Validation Engine
 
-The Data Validation Engine (DVE) is a configuration driven data validation library built and utilised by NHS England. Currently the package has been reverted from v1.0.0 release to a 0.x as we feel the package is not yet mature enough to be considered a 1.0.0 release. So please bare this in mind if reading through the commits and references to a v1+ release when on v0.x.

 As mentioned above, the DVE is "configuration driven" which means the majority of development for you as a user will be building a JSON document to describe how the data will be validated. The JSON document is known as a `dischema` file and example files can be accessed [here](./tests/testdata/). If you'd like to learn more about JSON document and how to build one from scratch, then please read the documentation [here](./docs/).

 Please note - The long term aim is to make the DVE available via PyPi and Conda but we are not quite there yet. Once available this documentation will be updated to contain the new installation options.
