About:
Rnv is a lightweight command-line validator that implements the RELAX NG Compact Syntax (RNC). It allows developers to validate XML documents against schema definitions using a more human-readable syntax than standard XML Schema. This tool is essential for ensuring data integrity and schema compliance in XML-based workflows.

Key Features:

Validates XML against RELAX NG Compact Syntax (RNC) schemas
Fast and lightweight C implementation
Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
Supports both RNC and XML formats

Use Cases:

Validating configuration files stored as XML
Enforcing schema compliance in CI/CD pipelines
Debugging XML data structures during development

Alternatives:

Jing – Jing is a Java-based validator supporting RELAX NG, but requires a JVM, making Rnv a lighter native alternative.
