What this tool does

XML Validator checks whether XML parses correctly, reports friendly errors, and summarizes the root element, elements, and attributes.

When to use it

Use it for XML snippets, config files, feeds, SOAP-ish payloads, exported data, and small structured documents.

How it works

Paste XML and the browser DOMParser validates it locally. Valid XML gets a quick structural summary.

Useful for

  • Checking XML snippets.
  • Finding malformed tags.
  • Inspecting root elements and attribute counts.

Limitations

This is basic XML well-formedness validation only. It does not validate against XSD, DTD, or business rules.

Questions before the button mashing

Does it validate schemas?

No. It checks basic XML parsing, not XSD or DTD schema rules.

Is my XML uploaded?

No. Validation happens in your browser.
