Excellent ideas.  I will package up a tiny example and post to libyang.

I am using yanglint 2.0.200.

Since I'm starting from an example that is in RFC 9195, it is easy to build a 
small example and package up an expect script to show the issue.

Regards,
-scott.

Subject: Re: [netmod] Question about tooling for YANG Instance Data

Hi Scott,

I consider myself a heavy `yanglint` user, as all examples in all my drafts are 
validated each time I "make" each draft, and I have several other projects that 
make heavy use of `yanglint` validation.   I have run into a number of 
validation issues over years and generally first try to validate that my 
understanding of YANG is correct  and, if unsure, I'll ping the NETMOD list 
(note: there are many YANG subtleties, such as the recent discovery that a 
module needs to be "implemented" in order for its features to be defined).   
Otherwise, I submit an Issue to the `libyang` GitHub issue tracker, typically 
containing the smallest possible module (or number of modules) demonstrating 
the issue, while also pointing out all relevant facts (e.g., foo is 
implemented, bar is defined, RFC 7950 Section X says this, etc.).  Radek and 
Michal are pretty good with providing a response in 1-2 business days.   
Sometimes my YANG-understanding is challenged, at which point we bring it to 
the NETMOD list.

FWIW, `yanglint` recently switched from the 1.x to the 2.x code base.   A 
number of regressions were introduced at this time (resolved now, at least the 
ones affecting me) but, nicely, the 2.x code catches some issues that the 1.x 
code never did (it's a better validator).  The CLI changed some, and I'm now 
very careful to ensure all modules that need to be implemented are, and that 
all features that need to be defined are.  I now explicitly disable all 
features for implemented modules when no features from it are needed.   I find 
that the new 2.x is picky, in a good way and that, after painstakingly working 
through each issue, all my validation tests are passing now.

Best of luck,
Kent

 to test out how to validate that instance data is formatted correctly.

Using yanglint, I load all the yang necessary and then load the data from 
either the xml file (read-only-acm-rules) or the json file 
(acme-router-netconf-diagnostics).  I get a similar error for both...
data -t data -f xml acme-router-netconf-diagnostics.json
libyang[0]: Node "instance-data-set" not found in the "ietf-yang-instance-data" 
module. (path: Line number 2.)
YANGLINT[E]: Failed to parse input data file 
"acme-router-netconf-diagnostics.json".

What is the best tooling to use to validate the instance data?  What tooling 
was used to validate the contents used in the examples?  I'm trying to 
determine if this a yanglint issue, user error, or I'm just using the wrong 
tool.

Here is a link to a github with my testing:  
https://github.com/samans/testing-yang/tree/main/ieee-60802/60802<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-501d5122-313273af-454445555731-20ec105f5d2f3377&q=1&e=4e9d6ab0-63b7-4e40-965d-5d89b0208d6e&u=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fsamans%2Ftesting-yang%2Ftree%2Fmain%2Fieee-60802%2F60802>
If interested t.in in the expect script for the 
acme-router-netconf-diagnostics.json example and x.in is the expect script for 
the read-only-acm-rules.xml example.

-scott.
