Schema declarations in your XML

This test parser requires that the schema location be present in your schema declaration, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doi_batch version="5.3.1" xmlns="http://www.crossref.org/schema/5.3.1" 
                           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
                           xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crossref.org/schema/5.3.1 http://data.crossref.org/schemas/crossref5.3.1.xsd">
                            

To use other versions of the schema simply replace the 5.3.1 accordingly. Schema details are available in Crossref Help.
