XML Validator is designed to validate XML with as little data collection as practical. The tool runs entirely in your browser.

XML, DTD, and XSD files are processed in your browser

When you import an XML, DTD, or XSD file or paste text, the content is read in-memory by JavaScript in your browser tab. Well-formedness checks use the browser native parser, and DTD and XSD validation use libxml2 compiled to WebAssembly. All of this happens locally.

The application does not upload or store imported content

XML Validator does not have a backend that receives your file content. No network request is made that contains your XML, DTD, or XSD data. File content is not written to local storage by default. Start over clears locally held data from the application state.

No account required

XML Validator does not require an account and does not offer login. There is no sign-up, sign-in, user profile, or per-user data store. The tool is a free public utility.

No advertising or third-party tracking

XML Validator does not load Google Analytics, advertising scripts, session-recording tools, or third-party marketing scripts. There are no third-party trackers on the page.

Server request logs

When you load the site, your browser requests the static HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and image assets that make up the application. Standard web server request logs may record the URL, time, IP address, and user agent of those asset requests. These logs do not intentionally capture the content you process, because that content is never transmitted to the server.

Avoid sensitive data on shared devices

Because processing is local, you should avoid processing sensitive data on shared or untrusted devices. Browser history, extensions, or device management software outside our control could retain information you enter.

Use the Start over button when you are finished to clear locally held XML, DTD, and XSD data from the application state.
