{ } How it works
XML Validator works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- XML input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Find the unclosed tag in a document a parser refused.
- Check a hand-edited config before deploying it.
- Confirm a generated document is well-formed.
{ } Limitations
- This checks well-formedness only: tags balance, attributes are quoted, one root element. It does not validate against a DTD, an XSD or any other schema, so a well-formed document can still be wrong for its purpose.
- Namespace prefixes are not resolved, and an undeclared prefix is not reported as an error.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
What is the difference between well-formed and valid?
Well-formed means the syntax is right. Valid means the content also matches a schema — the right elements in the right order with the right types. This tool answers the first question.
