+//! A library to validate whether a PURL actually exists.
+//!
+//! **purl-validator** is a Rust library for validating
+//! [`Package URLs` (PURLs)](https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec).
+//! It works fully offline, including in **air-gapped** or **restricted environments**,
+//! and answers one key question: **Does the package this PURL represents actually exist?**
+//!
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! Simplest way to use `validate` is as follows:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use purl_validator::validate;
+//!
+//! let result: bool = validate("pkg:nuget/FluentValidation");
+//! ```
+//!
