<h1>XML Format</h1>
<p>
Objects in the libvirt API are configured using XML documents to allow
for ease of extension in future releases. Each XML document has an
associated Relax-NG schema that can be used to validate documents
prior to usage.

<h2>Command line validation</h2>
<p>
The <code>virt-xml-validate</code> tool provides a simple command line
for validating XML documents prior to giving them to libvirt. It uses
the locally instaled RNG schema documents. It will auto-detect which
schema to use for validation based on the name of the top level element
in the input document. Thus it merely requires the XML document filename
to be passed on the command line
