XML ValidatorBuddy

XML ValidatorBuddy is an advanced software application that enables you to validate XML files in bulk and compile error reports. It offers support forJSON syntax highlighting and schema validation options.

Installing this tool is a fast and simple job that shouldn't impose any difficulties, thanks to the fact that it implements familiar options. Once it's over, you are welcomed by a large frame with a clear-cut structure, where you can use a file browser to navigate disk directories and locate XML files.

It's possible to transform files with XLS, check for correct XML or JSON formatting, validate files against a specific W3C or RelaxNG schema, find invalid XML files without using a schema, as well as to convert XML to JSON, JSON to XML, or CSV to XML and JSON.

Moreover, the software utility is capable of creating an XML directory structure from selected folders (including subdirectories). It lets you sign and verify XML with digital signatures, as well as remove whitespace and apply stylesheets to JSON.

When it comes to performing operations in batch mode, XML ValidatorBuddy puts several configuration settings at your disposal. You can select the task type between validation and format verification (XML or JSON), parser to use in case of validation (MXSML, Xerxes-C, Xerxes-C SAX, AltovaXML, Schematron, RelaxNG), starting folder, and file extensions to take into account. Plus, you can ask the tool to report only invalid files, limit the number of errors, or use an external schema.

We haven't come across any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as stability is concerned, thanks to the fact that XML ValidatorBuddy didn't hang, crash or display error messages. It had a good response time to user commands and minimal impact on computer performance. Plus, it supports keyboard shortcuts.

With all things considered, XML ValidatorBuddy proves to be a reliable utility for swiftly validating and manipulating XML files, backed by a rich set of options and configuration parameters.
