public class XMLValidator

extends java.lang.Object

XML Document Validator. Takes an XML Document and validates it against its DTD or W3C Schema. Provides easy access to the validation error message, and location of the error. Also provides automatic conversion between XML and HTML (for easily displaying XML documents within a web browser.) If a validation error occurs, the hasValidationError() method returns true. The getHTMLData() method returns an HTML version of the document, with the error location (if any) highlighted.

Current implementation uses JDOM.
