# Validator Delegates

###### Identifier:

org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorDelegates

###### Since:

This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

###### Description:

This extension point allows validator providers to contribute alternate implementations for a delegating validator.

###### Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (delegate)>

<!ATTLIST extension
