About the IATI Public Validator

This is a designed as a quick, simple service to allow people to check their IATI XML files.

Because IATI files can be varied, complex or even very simple depending on the reporting organisation's needs, 'validation' is a difficult concept.

This tool performs some basic checks around the XML, and then some compliance checks against the IATI Standard, an agreed set of political desires, that are not enforced by the IATI schema.

Version

Let us test your data.

Upload a file, paste some code or point us to a file on the internet and we can give you some basic information about how well the data performs against the IATI standard.

Files over 10MB in size may be rejected by the application.

Errors on line number 65,536 or greater may state an incorrect line number.
