'''JHOVE''' (JSTOR/Harvard Object Validation Environment) - pronounced "jove" - is a joint project of [[JSTOR]] and the [[Harvard University Library]] to develop an extensible framework for format validation.
JHOVE is currently available for downloading as version 1.9.<ref name="project">[http://sourceforge.net/projects/jhove/ Project page].</ref> It is licensed under the [[LGPL]]v2. The download includes both a command line and a [[GUI]] version. It is designed so that third parties can attach different "heads" to the software, and so can be integrated with other applications that need to validate files. It should run on any Unix, Windows, or Macintosh OS X platform which supports Java 1.4.<ref>[http://jhove.sourceforge.net/#implementation Project page: implementation]</ref>
Currently supported formats are [[AIFF]], [[ASCII]], Bytestream, [[GIF]], [[HTML]], [[JPEG]], [[JPEG 2000]], [[PDF]], [[TIFF]], [[UTF-8]], [[WAV]], and [[XML]]. Documents are analyzed and checked for being well-formed (consistent with the basic requirements of the format) and valid (generally signifying internal consistency). JHOVE notes when a file satisfies specific profiles within formats (e.g., PDF/X, HTML 4.0).
A successor called [http://jhove2.org JHOVE2] is currently available; however, it has a completely separate code base.<ref name="project" />
