Consistency in XML Documents
Catch errors early and ensure data integrity by validating your XML files against predefined rules.
XML validation is the process of verifying an XML document's adherence to specific structural and data rules. While a well-formed document adheres to basic grammatical rules, a valid document additionally conforms to a predefined schema like DTD or XML Schema. This schema dictates element types, allowed values, and their relationships, ensuring consistency and data integrity. Validation, although optional, is crucial for data exchange and processing accuracy, particularly in mission-critical applications.
