Rigorously checks structure, types, and required elements with the libxml2 engine

Show error locations by line

List violations linked to the relevant lines to quickly identify the cause

Enter XML and XSD directly

Paste into the two input fields, or specify them by loading files

Check behavior with samples

Load valid and error examples with one click to quickly grasp the behavior

How to use

Enter the XML

Paste the XML into the left input field, or specify it with "Load XML file"

2

Enter the XSD

Paste the XSD (XML schema) into the right input field, or load it from a file

Use cases

Pre-checking data integration

Validate before shipping that the XML you send and receive meets the agreed schema spec

Quality-checking config files

Check before applying that an XML-format config has the defined elements and types

Behavior verification during API development

Quickly check at the development stage that a response XML conforms to the schema

Understanding behavior while learning schemas

Understand how changes to an XSD affect validation results by trying them out

Basic Knowledge

Difference Between Well-Formed and Valid

Well-formed refers to XML that follows correct grammar rules such as matching tags and proper nesting. Valid means it additionally conforms to the structure and type rules defined by a schema such as XSD. Schema validation requires comparison against the schema.

What XSD Validation Reveals

Comparing against an XSD schema allows you to mechanically detect missing required elements, unexpected elements, and data type mismatches (such as text in a numeric field). It is used for acceptance testing of data exchanged between systems.
