Command line XML validator that doesn't read the whole XML file into memory?

Question

I have an XML file that's 6.7GB compressed. I want to check this is valid XML from the command line. I tried using xmlstarlet and xmllint but the both balloned in memory.

Is there some sort of stream XML validator for linux I can run on the command line?
