Step through XQuery expressions, set breakpoints, and inspect variables to quickly identify and fix errors in your XML data processing.
An XQuery debugger is a software tool designed to aid in the development and troubleshooting of XQuery expressions. Similar to debuggers used for traditional programming languages, it allows you to step through your XQuery code line by line, set breakpoints to pause execution at specific points, and inspect the values of variables during execution. This helps pinpoint errors in logic and data handling within your XQuery expressions, ensuring they manipulate XML data as intended.
Several structured document tools offer XQuery debugging functionality including:
- Oxygen XML Developer Enterprise facilitates debugging XQuery code with breakpoints and variable inspection.
- Altova XMLSpy Enterprise XML Editor lets you step through and debug XSLT stylesheets and XQuery expressions.
- Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite empowers you to debug XQuery expressions for efficient development.
- Liquid Studio XML Editor Edition offers visual XQuery debugging alongside source code and XML data.
