Checking feeds and imports
Use it before an XML feed, sitemap, or import file is uploaded into another system.
XML Validator
XML Validator helps you validate xml online before you rely on it anywhere else. It is especially useful when pasted input looks close to correct but you need to catch the exact error before fixing, sharing, or reusing it.
Tool interface
What this tool does
XML Validator helps you check whether XML parses correctly in the browser so you can catch broken tags, invalid nesting, and parser errors before XML moves into a feed, import, or integration workflow.
Related next steps include XML Formatter, XML to JSON Converter, and the Validate XML before upload page if you want to keep working on the same task from a different angle.
When to use it
Use it when a value or document looks almost correct but the next step keeps failing. Validators are most useful during imports, API work, schema checks, and publishing workflows where one broken character can block everything else.
After you confirm what is wrong, the next useful page is often XML Formatter. If the wider task involves debugging structured data, the Validate XML before upload page will usually save time.
How to use it
Paste or type your input, review the result, and copy or export it once it matches what you need.
- Paste the source input or load the example if you want to see the expected format first.
- Review the output, preview, or validation result carefully.
- Copy, download, or pass the result into the next workflow only after you confirm it matches what you need.
Example
This example shows the kind of input that often fails validation and the feedback you can review before fixing it.
Example input
<feed><item><title>Launch</title></item></feed>Example output
Valid XMLCommon use cases
Reviewing copied markup
It helps when XML is pasted from a CMS, export file, or integration log and needs a quick inspection.
Preparing handoff notes
Clean XML is easier to include in tickets, QA notes, and implementation docs.
Moving into the next XML step
This is often paired with XML Formatter when the workflow needs a second pass.

How is XML Validator different from XML Formatter?
XML Validator focuses on correctness and error checking. Use XML Formatter when you need to beautify XML directly in the browser so feeds, config files, and integration payloads are easier to scan, debug, and share with other people on your team.
Does XML Validator run in the browser?
Yes. This tool runs in the browser so you can work with the input on the page without sending it through a custom backend on this site.
What should I use after XML Validator?
A good next step is XML Formatter or the Validate XML before upload page.
