When to use this XML validator
Use this XML validator before submitting a sitemap, feed item, SOAP request, localization file, or integration payload. It is designed for everyday web, data, and developer workflows where a quick browser-side result is more convenient than opening a heavy desktop application.
The best workflow is to paste a small representative sample first, confirm the output looks correct, and then process the full content if it is appropriate to handle in your browser.
