What it works with

DayZ's config files (types.xml, events.xml, cfgspawnabletypes.xml, cfgeconomycore.xml and others) are unforgiving XML. One unclosed tag or stray character stops your server loading the file, and the in-game error rarely points at the real problem.

What XML & JSON Validator does

  • Parse an XML or JSON file and report the exact line and column where it breaks
  • Show the surrounding lines so you can see the mistake in context
  • Check JSON files for valid formatting the same way

Who it's for

Anyone who's spent twenty minutes scanning a 4,000-line types.xml by eye after a server failed to start.

Getting started

Works entirely in your browser: drop in a file and get a result immediately, with no account or server connection needed.
