About This Tool
Validate XML for well-formedness and optionally against an XSD (XML Schema Definition). Returns validation status and a list of errors with line numbers.
XXE processing is disabled. External DTD and entity references are blocked for security.
Why Use This Tool
- API Validation — Validate incoming XML payloads against an XSD before processing in SOAP services.
- Document Compliance — Ensure XML documents conform to industry-standard schemas (UBL, HL7, XBRL).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is XSD validation optional?
Yes — without an XSD, only well-formedness is checked. With an XSD, full schema validation is performed.
Are external DTDs loaded?
No — external DTD and entity references are blocked for security.
