<div class="descriptionheading">Overview</div>

This example shows how to do very basic validation of an XML document.

<br><br>

<div class="descriptionheading">Well formedness</div>

The DOM parser automatically tests for well-formedness when loading the file (row 10).

The value that is returned from the <span class="interestingdescription">load</span> method is true if the file was well-formed and false if not.

<br><br>

<div class="descriptionheading">Validation</div>

Validation of the file using the DTD linked by the XML file (if such a link exists) is performed with the <span class="interestingdescription">validate</span> method.

The value returned is true if the file is valid and false if not.

<br><br>

Validation is as simple as this in the simplest case. However we do not get very detailed information abou why validation or well-formedness has failed.
