There is a forum at the following page,
http://www.altova.com/forum/default.aspx?g=forum. As always, Support can
be reached from the following page,
http://www.altova.com/support_center.html. We have received your reports

We have a powerful com interface that can be used to integrate our
processor into other projects. There is a general description under
http://www.altova.com/altovaxml.html. The online documentation is found
under: http://www.altova.com/manual2007/AltovaXML/ . This explains how
it can be used. AltovaXML can be used from the command line, via a COM
interface, in Java programs, and in .NET applications. If you download
the application (for free) there are a few (small) examples showing how
it is used in Java, CPP and C#.

I had no problems with input validation. The latest version of AltovaXML
is now 9.3.0.0 If you can include a specific example that would help.

Simple test result
Validation Error
Element <head> is not allowed under element <html>. at html
