Just a quick note… On every PC there is a text editor already available. And there are also some more sophisticated text editors available for free like this one Notepad++ which offer XML syntax coloring and support for different encodings which is important for XML documents. So very often you just need to do a quick change to your XML file and then you also need to make sure the file is still valid afterwards or the XSL transformation still works as expected. Imagine you just need to remove some typos or wrongly written names in the content.
This is where XML ValidatorBuddy can help you to save the money for an XML editor with a lot of features you will never need or use. Edit your XML files with your favorite text editor and do the validation of your documents from the Windows File Explorer and ValidatorBuddy.

It is a new approach to set the focus on the tasks people want to do with XML and not on having support for various XML parsers.
- Putting the Xerces parser to the front together with a statement about large file support provided by the SAX interface.
- Other validation engines (AltovaXML, XSV) are now accessible through the “Other..” menu.
- A brand new command “Validate against Schema…” which allows to validate also XML instance files without any schema already assigned. This command also allows to override any SchemaLocation and NoNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes present in the XML.
