How to validate XML against XSD schema?

XML documents are dramatically often being used as a format of data interchange. However for an XML to be appropriate to various users, the XML has to conform to a standardized structure.

XML XSD Schema is an XML-oriented representation of the structure of an XML document. XML XSD Schema has the power of possibility to provide the standard structure for XML attributes and elements, through its support for namespaces and datatypes.

You have to validate your XML file to make sure it fits to your application's needs to prevent any exception in your code.
