Allows you to do validation an XML, such as ensuring valid XML content, defining maximum size, limiting number or depth of elements, attribute count, element or attribute name/value etc.
You can also specify multiple XSD schemas which the XML is validated against, the XSD schemas can be embedded in the configuration or loaded from URLs. When loading for URLs you can specify a refresh interval after which they will be reloaded to allow for changes to be automatically used.
