XML Validator
Validate that XML documents are well-formed and report parse errors clearly.
About the XML Validator
An XML sitemap with one unescaped ampersand is rejected wholesale by Search Console, and the error message rarely points anywhere useful.
This validator parses your document and reports the first well-formedness error with its location.
How to use the XML Validator
- Paste your XML document.
- Read the result: well-formed, or a parse error with position.
- Check the usual offenders: unescaped & < >, mismatched tag names, and more than one root element.
- Fix and re-run until the document parses cleanly.
