Supported XML Validators

If you need to validate the active document with another validator than the built-in one (MSXML) you have the possibility to use a custom validator. The document is validated against the schema declared in the document (use the "$(Schema.URL)" macro).

These validators are configured by default:

MSXML 6

Able to validate the active document against DTD, or XML Schema.

This is the built-in (default) XML Validator. To validate an XML Document using MSXML, click XML > Validate or press F8.

Jing
