+ <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
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+ $ virt-xml-validate /path/to/XML/file</pre>
