Web Service

As part of my teaching web development in our Computer Science program, I
use my own course management system that allows student exercise uploads and
display of their solutions both in the browser and in syntax highlighted
fashion. I can have the program automatically fed into your validator which
shows the full report. However, it would be really nice if I could just
fetch back a list of errors which I could display in my system beside their
solution.

 

Do you have or are you interested in providing a web service where a page
could be passed in as a parameter and a compact error list retrieved as
output? The compact list would not be a verbose as the full report but list
only the error message, a line number, and a highlighted part of their
source. Perhaps the output would be an HTML table?

 

Just a thought. Thanks for your service; it is great.
