Large File Viewer

Open large XML files and validate even multi-GB files directly in the application. XML ValidatorBuddy can handle huge files, where other tools just stop working. Use the built-in File Explorer window to validate those XML documents with a single click without the necessity of reading the whole content at once. Afterwards, take a closer look on all validation errors in the Large File Viewer window with the jump-to-error functionality which, of course, also works for huge files.

Detailed XML validation reports

With XML ValidatorBuddy you can validate and inspect XML documents without the need to open them. This is a big advantage compared to other tools which always require to open any XML file even if you just want to check if the document is well-formed. Using XML ValidatorBuddy you only need to select the documents in the built-in File Explorer and start to validate as many files you want at once.

XML ValidatorBuddy installs the powerful Xerces XML parser which reports all errors at once on validating XML instance files. The automatically generated error report can be copied to the clipboard for further processing and also opened in the built-in editor window.
