Abstract
The moving coframe method is applied to solve the local equivalence problem for the class of nonlinear wave equations in two independent variables under an action of the pseudo-group of contact transformations. The structure equations and the complete sets of differential invariants for symmetry groups are found. The solution of the equivalence problem is given in terms of these invariants.
