XML Validation Tools

(validation is central to all human-created XML processing)

• XML “parser”
  • checks an XML document against a DTD or schema
  • don’t buy these, they are free or built in
• Schematron processors are free
• Validation beyond DTDs and schemas is typically programming
  (Perl, C++, .Net, javascript, etc.)

(Remember that an XML document is just an editable file)
