Content Validation Engine for CMS and Ecommerce Workflows
Prevent Bad Data Before It
Breaks Your CMS or Ecommerce Workflows
Define content validation rules across systems, workflows, and APIs. Enforce them before content is saved, published, or processed, on every system in your stack.
AxCheck is not schema validation. It's rule-based validation across systems.
Built from CMS and integration experience, for developers, architects, and integration engineers.
Define validation rules and automatically check data before it is saved, published, or processed. Stop invalid, incomplete, or inconsistent data from entering your systems.
The Problem
Content workflows rely on trust, not validation
Most teams assume content is correct until something breaks in production. By then, the cost is already paid.
Data flows between systems without checks
Fields get skipped, formats drift, required values go missing. Silently.
Manual QA is inconsistent
Different people apply different standards. Edge cases slip through depending on who reviews.
Validation rules are scattered or missing
Rules live in wikis, Slack messages, or someone's memory. Not enforced at the source.
Errors are only caught after publishing
Broken products, invalid documents, and malformed content reach customers before anyone notices.
No consistent feedback for editors
Content creators find out something is wrong too late, and often don't know how to fix it.
Compliance and quality are afterthoughts
Accessibility, completeness, and business rules are checked manually, if at all.
AxCheck puts a validation layer inside your workflow.
Define rules once. Run validation on save, publish, or via API. Block actions when rules fail, on every system in your stack.
How It Works
Pre-publish validation in four steps
Define validation rules
Write rules in YAML. Specify fields, formats, conditions, and severity levels.
Integrate into your workflow
Add AxCheck to your CMS, ecommerce admin, document pipeline, or CLI workflow.
Run checks automatically
Validation runs on save, on publish, or on demand. Results are structured and deterministic. Clear PASS / FAIL per rule.
Block or flag failures
Block publishing when critical rules fail. Show editors exactly what needs fixing.
Use Cases
Works where your content lives
Control product data quality before release
Validate product data quality before it reaches your storefront or feeds. Incomplete product listings hurt conversions and damage brand trust. AxCheck enforces data validation rules directly inside your ecommerce admin, before any product goes live.
- ✓ Validate required fields, media, and pricing
- ✓ Enforce business rules per product type
- ✓ Show editors exactly what failed and how to fix it
- ✓ Block publish until all critical rules pass
Add content validation before publishing
Validate content before publishing in CMS platforms like Strapi, Sitecore, or custom systems. Content editors shouldn't need to memorise style guides or publishing checklists. AxCheck enforces those rules automatically when they publish.
- ✓ Validate required fields and content structure
- ✓ Run checks during editing or on publish
- ✓ Show editors what failed, directly in the CMS
- ✓ Prevent publishing when validation rules fail
Run validation checks on generated documents
Validate structured and semi-structured documents before processing or distribution. PDFs and generated documents often skip structure, metadata, and compliance checks entirely. AxCheck validates them locally, no cloud required.
- ✓ Validate structure, metadata, and compliance rules
- ✓ Apply validation rules to document content
- ✓ Verify required data is present before distribution
- ✓ Run locally or inside secure environments
Developer-Friendly Validation Engine
Developer-Friendly by Design
Built for teams working across multiple systems and pipelines. Define validation rules in YAML, integrate via API or CLI, and run checks inside your build or deployment process.
YAML rules
Define validation rules in readable YAML. Version-control them alongside your codebase.
API and CLI integration
Integrate via REST API or run validation from the command line. Fits into any pipeline or build step.
Pipeline and CI/CD support
Run validation from the CLI inside CI/CD pipelines, build steps, or backend services.
Custom validation logic
Extend with custom validators and processors to handle any content type or data model.
Why AxCheck
Validation as a dedicated layer in your workflow
Rules that fit your data
Go beyond rigid schemas with flexible validation logic. Write rules in YAML, version-control them, and reuse them across systems.
Validate where it matters
Run checks on save, publish, or import without changing your existing system.
Built for integration
Plug into APIs, pipelines, and services. Extend with custom logic. Works with any CMS or ecommerce platform, including enterprise systems such as Sitecore or Contentful.
No SaaS required
Runs locally or in your own infrastructure. No data leaves your environment, no accounts, no subscriptions.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a content validation engine?
A system that applies rules to content or data before it is published or processed, checking that it meets your quality, completeness, or compliance requirements.
Can AxCheck be used with any CMS?
Yes. AxCheck integrates into custom workflows, publishing pipelines, and APIs. It works wherever you can run a validation step.
Does AxCheck guarantee data consistency?
No. It validates data based on rules you define but does not manage consistency across systems. Rules determine what "valid" means for your context.
What types of content can AxCheck validate?
JSON-based content (CMS fields, product data), PDFs, documents, and file-based workflows. Custom processors extend support to other content types.
When should I use AxCheck instead of schema validation?
Use AxCheck when validation needs to span systems, workflows, or flexible content structures that go beyond static schemas.
Will validation slow down my publishing process?
For content validation, checks typically complete in milliseconds. For larger documents such as PDFs, it is best run as a dedicated step in your pipeline.
