This tool is used to validate the Schema provided by the IRS and program generated XML. It is easy to find the XML Mapping errors using this tool. IRS recommends this tool to all E-file developers to use this one while developing against IRS MeF system. XML Spy will show us each xml element property set by IRS. So it is easy to developers to add validation check in program by comparing it with XML Spy.
