FAQ
CDA and XML viewer questions
Does this validate CDA conformance?
No. It validates XML syntax and performs practical CDA-aware structural inspection. It does not validate the complete CDA model, XSD schemas, template constraints, terminology bindings, or jurisdiction-specific implementation guides.
How are XML namespaces displayed?
The tree keeps qualified element and attribute names where prefixes exist, and the Namespaces tab shows prefixes and namespace URIs discovered in the document.
What CDA details are summarised?
The tool looks for common ClinicalDocument header structures such as template IDs, document identity and code, record target, author, custodian, legal authenticator, encompassing encounter, structured body, and sections.
What are the suspicious escaping checks?
The tool flags literal double-escaped entity text such as ' in the raw XML because it can indicate that entity text was escaped twice. The note is a debugging aid, not a conformance verdict.
Can I paste real patient data?
No. Use synthetic or appropriately de-identified test data only.
