Frequently Asked Questions

Does the XML Validator support XSD or DTD validation?

Not in this first release. V1 focuses on XML well-formedness with exact line and column diagnostics, lightweight structure preview, and local-only processing.

How are XML errors shown?

The validator highlights the failing line, marks the reported column, scrolls the editor to the error automatically, and shows a likely-cause explanation with a focused snippet.

Can I inspect valid XML after validation succeeds?

Yes. Valid XML gets a lightweight structure preview here, and you can open the same XML directly in XML Formatter And Beautifier or XML Viewer for deeper follow-up work.

Is my XML uploaded anywhere?

No. Validation, diagnostics, and structure preview all run locally in your browser.

What happens with very large XML files?

Large XML switches to manual validation and worker mode so the editor and preview remain responsive.
