Why use it?

In some cases, where the XML files to validate, a debugging method is necessary.

Method Description

With the debugger This method requires you to connect to the internet and place the XML document's content, or destination URL, into it. Running the XML Debugger is possible to step through line-by-line and analyse the structure of the XML. It's simple and strait forward!

Without the debugger This method requires you to execute the same steps the XML Debugger would, but manually. You must validate chunks of the XML at a time until you see the error. It can take a long time to do it because long XMLs aren't people-friendly and reading it can be very tiring.
