DayZ XML Validator
Paste your XML or open a file: the validator checks the whole document in one pass and lists every error with line number, explanation and a click-to-jump link — not just the first one like most parsers. It recognises DayZ server files, suggests improvements and produces a cleanly formatted version you can copy or download.
Finds every well-formedness error in one pass: wrong nesting, missing closing tags, duplicate attributes, unescaped characters and more.
One-click formatting with 2/4 spaces or tabs, minifier and self-closing of empty elements — even for files with errors.
Recognises DayZ server files like types.xml automatically and links straight to the matching DZPage tool.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this validator show more errors than my browser or game server?
Most XML parsers stop at the first error. This validator recovers and keeps scanning, so you see every broken tag, attribute and entity in one run — instead of fixing one error, re-uploading and hitting the next.
Does it work with types.xml and other DayZ files?
Yes. It detects DayZ server files (types.xml, events.xml, cfgspawnabletypes.xml, mapgroupproto.xml and more) by their root element. For types.xml you get a direct link to the DZPage Types Editor for comfortable editing.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Validation and formatting run entirely in your browser — the XML never leaves your device.
