If you use the W3C Nu Validator, you can use the REST API with the "out"
parameter to get errors reported in alternative formats; the ones that are
intended for post-processing are:

  http://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http://vdsys.com&out=json
  http://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http://vdsys.com&out=xml
  http://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http://vdsys.com&out=gnu

There's some documentation here:
