Generate detailed XML validator reports

With XML Validator Buddy you can validate and inspect XML data without the need to open them. This is a big advantage compared to other tools which always require to open any XML instance even if you just want to check if the XML is well-formed. Using XML Validator Buddy you only need to select the documents in the built-in File Explorer and start to validate any amount of XML data at once against any schema.

XML Validator Buddy installs the powerful Xerces XML validator which reports all errors found on checking your XML input. Save the generated error report as a separate XML document for further processing or open the report in the editor window.

• Save time and get all errors reported by the XML validator at once.
• Validate multiple XML instances quickly and compare validation results.
• Open XML documents in the built-in text editor directly from the report dialog.
• Jump-to-error functionality.
• Get the whole validator report as XML for further processing.

Validator and editor for huge XML data

Open large XML data and validate even multi-GB files directly in the application. XML Validator Buddy can handle huge XML input, where other tools just stop working. Use the Explorer window to validate those XML documents with a single click without the necessity of reading the whole content at once. If the XML has no schema assigned, XML ValidatorBuddy can use any W3C schema or DTD to run the validator. After validation, take a closer look at all reported errors in the Large-File editor window and use the jump-to-error functionality which, of course, also works for huge XML data.
