These sites check your XML document against the corresponding document type definition (DTD), and therefore tell you whether the document is valid as well as well-formed.

  • Richard Tobin's Validating XML Checker: Based on Tobin's RXP parser; you enter the URI (http-style only) of the document and, if desired, select the "validate" option.
  • Scholarly Technology Group's XML Validator: This site, like Tobin's (above), accepts a standard URI (e.g., http://www.flixml.org/flixml/detour.xml) for the document's the location. However, it also accepts only a local file URI (for instance, C:\detour.xml), or you can copy-and-paste the code you wish to check. This makes the STG validator a very handy tool for developing your XML documents, as you needn't have actually uploaded them to a Web site first.

Non-validating parsers:

These sites don't require the presence of a DTD in order to syntax-check a document; they simply tell you whether or not the document is well-formed.

  • Frontier 5 Syntax Checker: Two alternatives: Frontier's own XML parser, or the "Blox" parser (based on xpat)
  • xml.com's RUWF ("Are You Well-Formed?"): Based on Tim Bray's Lark parser
