Validator FAQ

How is XML validation useful for integrations?

It prevents malformed payloads from failing in partner gateways or middleware.

Does it replace XSD validation?

No, use this as a quick structure pass, then run full schema checks where required.

Can I test sitemap XML here?

Yes, it helps verify well-formed XML before submission.
