Xerces and Saxon-SA are both highly conformant. Both have a Java API; Saxon
also has a command line interface. Xerces is free; Saxon-SA costs £30, but
for that I think you get (slightly) better performance, (slightly) better
control over the validation process, and (much) better error messages.

Microsoft's schema processors also have quite a high level of conformance,
the notable exception in my experience being regular expressions, where they
support a rather different regex dialect from the one defined by W3C.

The choice depends a little on what you mean by "batch mode".
