Online XSD tools

This Online XML Schema Validator tool allows you to validate that your XML conforms to the specified schema.

If your document is not valid, the errors will be displayed, you will be able to make the necessary corrections.

This utility also allows you to generate XML examples from XSD. An XML example often makes it easier to understand the XML schema, because it is rarely very readable.

You can also generate XSD from an XML. This saves time and allows you to have a good basis.

All treatments are done locally directly in the browser, your documents are not sent to our server.

This tool uses xml.js library. It is an Emscripten port of libxml2's xmllint command.

What is XML Schema?

The XML Schema definition language (XSD) allows to define the structure and data types for XML documents. It contains a set of rules to which an XML document must conform in order to be valid. It is the current standard schema language, it is a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It is an alternative to Document type definition (DTD).

XSD defines:

The elements that can appear in a document
The attributes that can appear in a element
The child elements
The order of child elements
The data types for elements and attributes
The fixed values for elements and attributes

XML Schema can be used by developers to check XML document, for example to verify a SOAP response. If the XML document does not conform to the XML schema, the SOAP response is wrong.

XML Schema can be complicated to understand and use for a novice (especially for a non-developer), the spec is very long. The XML schema generators from xml can help to create a Schema XML.

XML Schema uses XML syntax, a XSD is a XML document! This avoids having to use another format. XSD Example

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="book">   <xs:complexType>     <xs:sequence>       <xs:element name="author" type="xs:string"/>       <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>       <xs:element name="price" type="xs:float"/>     </xs:sequence>   </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>

XML Example conforms to the XML Schema

<book> 	<author>Isaac Asimov</author> 	<title>I, Robot</title> 	<price>10</price> </book>

XSD supports several primitive data types: boolean, string, decimal, float, double, date, dateTime, base64Binary, ... Then, it is possible to create complex types.
