Thanks Michael for your such a quick response. I believe all that you mentioned Xerces, MSXML, XSV are xml library only. In that line do you know whether libxml2-2.6.17 library for Unix has the same feature or not. Also, my understanding is that if I use some library like the above then I need to write my own program to validate an XML document. Whereas if I use products like Saxon or Stylus studio or XML Spy then it is just easy and one click solution.

There are a number of tools including Xerces, MSXML, XSV. The way you do validation depends on the tool that you are using. If you install the schema-aware version of Saxon, you can use the command line: java com.saxonica.Validate source.xml schema.xsd I find that the easiest way to do ad-hoc validation (i.e., not integrated into an application) is to use a tool such as Stylus Studio. One of the nice things is that Stylus allows you to validate using a range of different processors - if your document is invalid, it can be helpful to get the error messages from more than one processor. By contrast, XML Spy uses its own schema processor, which is not always 100% conformant with the spec.
