What kind of things are you looking to validate?
In a lot of cases you can use the Camunda modeler Linting plugin, you could just define your own rules.

You can use fluent builder Bpmn.validateModel() to validate the bpmn model.

// create an empty model
BpmnModelInstance modelInstance = Bpmn.createEmptyModel();
Definitions definitions = modelInstance.newInstance(Definitions.class);
definitions.setTargetNamespace("http://camunda.org/examples");
modelInstance.setDefinitions(definitions);

// validate and write model to file
Bpmn.validateModel(modelInstance);

File file = File.createTempFile("bpmn-model-api-", ".bpmn");
Bpmn.writeModelToFile(file, modelInstance);
