• copy and paste the XML directly into the field bellow or
• insert the URL where the XML doc is at.

Debug XML Structure

Enter XML Address (URL)

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.

Examples

Try placing the following XML into the field above:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
