Java Application Programming Interface (API) for RELAX Verifiers (JARV) is a vendor, implementation and schema language independent interface set for validation engines.

JARV was originally developed for Regular Language Description for XML (RELAX), but can be used with other schema languages or with multiple schema languages. To employ JARV the user needs the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) RELAX package and a compatible application for validating documents against a schema, such as Jing, Sun Multi-Schema XML Validator (MSV) or Swift RELAX Verifier. Xerces-2 can be used with JARV driver for Xerces-2 for W3C schema validation.

The JARV site includes links to a User's Guide, documentation for the API and examples of using JARV for Document Object Model (DOM) validation, Simple Application Programming Interface for XML (SAX) validation and validating batches of files. JARV is distributed under an open source license.
