XML Validator
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.

XML uploads fail for small reasons: one broken closing tag, a bad nesting pattern, or a copied character that breaks parsing. This page outlines a practical browser-based workflow for checking XML before you send it anywhere else.

Step-by-step workflow
- Paste the XML into XML Validator and run the parser check.
- If the file is hard to review, format it first so the structure is easier to scan.
- Only move into upload, import, or conversion work after the XML parses cleanly.

Valid XML. No parser errors found.FAQ
Why validate XML before upload?
It is much easier to fix tag and nesting issues before the XML hits a feed processor, importer, or integration step that returns a vague error.
Should I format XML before validating it?
Formatting is useful when the source is dense or copied from a one-line export. Validation is the step that confirms whether the parser accepts it.
What if I need JSON after validation?
Once the XML parses correctly, move into XML to JSON Converter if your next system expects a JSON-like structure.
