XML is all about creating documents that conform to certain document-types or schemas so they can be easily exchanged between and understood by different software products or environments.

Intelligent editing helps tremendously in creating such conforming (i.e., valid) XML documents by using DTDs or schemas to provide constant feedback about the content model of your document and also by specifying which elements or attributes can be inserted in what position.

XMLSpy® 2010 includes a unique incremental validating parser that constantly validates the element context you are working on and immediately shows any errors in your element structure.
