        The pywhip package is a Python package to validate data against

        Check the [documentation pages](https://inbo.github.io/pywhip/installation.html) for more information.
        
        ## Installation
        
        To install pywhip, run this command in your terminal:
        
        ```shell
        pip install pywhip
        ```
        
        For more detailed installation instructions, see the 
        [documentation pages](https://inbo.github.io/pywhip/installation.html).
        
        ## Test pywhip in jupyter notebook
        
        Launch a jupyter notebook to interactively try out the pywhip package:
        
        [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/inbo/pywhip/master?filepath=notebooks%2Fwhip_csv_data.ipynb)
        
        ## Quickstart
        
        To validate a CSV data file with the field headers `country`, `eventDate`
        and `individualCount`, write whip specifications, according to the
        [whip syntax](https://github.com/inbo/whip):
        
        ```
        specifications = """
            country:
               allowed: [BE, NL]
            eventDate:
                dateformat: '%Y-%m-%d'
                mindate: 2016-01-01
                maxdate: 2018-12-31
            individualCount:
                numberformat: x  # needs to be an integer value
                min: 1
                max: 100
            """
        ```
        
        To whip your data set, e.g. ``my_data.csv``, pass the data to
        whip specifications:
        
        
        ```python
        from pywhip import whip_csv
        
        example = whip_csv("my_data.csv", specifications, delimiter=',')
        ```
        
        and write the output report to an html file:
        
        ```python
        with open("report_example.html", "w") as index_page:
            index_page.write(example.get_report('html'))
        ```
        
        Resulting in a [report](https://inbo.github.io/pywhip/report_observations.html) like this. For a more
        detailed introduction, see [the documentaton tutorial](https://inbo.github.io/pywhip/tutorial.html).
        
        ## Credits
        
        This package was created with [Cookiecutter](https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter) 
        and the [audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage](https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage) 
        project template.
        
        Validation of data rows is using the [Cerberus](http://docs.python-cerberus.org/en/stable/) 
        package.
