Use notepad++ after you have downloaded XML Tools plugin.

Open your document, choose 'validate now' in plugin menu. Enter the path to the xsd et voilà.

You simply have to put the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute into your root tag pointing to your local xsd file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<data xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2020.2"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="your-schema.xsd">
   <....>
....
</data>

I have written a number of xsd to validate an xml -- most solution came from this site. I've focused more on using xmllint!

xmllint -schema <your xsd file> <your xml file>

For validating XML files against a XSD you have several options. Here are two of these which I find useful.

One option is to use Apache Xerces Parser. Xerces is available for Java as well as for C++.

Another option I often use is the XML plug-in in Notepad++. You can validate your xml against a chosen XSD very easy. Here is a very well description.

If it's an occasional requirement to validate individual files in an ad-hoc way, consider getting an IDE such as oXygen or Stylus Studio - unless you're comfortable using tools from the command line.

If it's a regular process that you want to automate, then I think we need to know more about the requirements.
