[[Optimus]] is a microformats transformer and validator that supports numerous microformats including [[hCard]], [[hCalendar]], [[hReview]], [[hAtom]] (note: [[optimus-issues#hAtom_validation|hAtom validation issues]]).


As well as a transformer, Optimus has a validator/conformance-checker mode, flagging errors in microformat mark-up. It's not 100% accurate (as of 2009-05-15), but still provides valuable debugging feedback.
