Tools to Validate Data

IATI Public Validator

The resultant data is then tested for:

  • Well-formed XML – a simple document test
  • IATI Activity Schema – validation against the latest schema.

Results of these tests are provided onscreen, alongside further information and analysis of the supplied data.

The source code for this tool is also available at GitHib.
