The Debugger perspectives enables you to test and debug XSLT 1.0 /2.0 stylesheets and XQuery 1.0 documents. The interface presents simultaneous views of the source XML document, the XSLT/XQuery document and the result document. As you go step by step through the XSLT/XQuery document the corresponding output is generated step by step, and the corresponding position in the XML file is highlighted for each step. At the same time, special views in the interface provide various types of debugging information and events useful for understanding the transformation process.
The user benefits of a rich set of features for testing and solving XSLT/XQuery problems:
Support for XSLT 1.0 stylesheets (through the Saxon 6.5.5 and Xalan XSLT engines) , XSLT 2.0 stylesheets (through the Saxon 9B XSLT engine) and XQuery 1.0 (through the Saxon 9B XQuery engine).
Stepping capabilities: step in, step over, step out, run, run to cursor, run to end, pause, stop.
Back mapping between every piece of output and instruction element /source context who generate it .
Breakpoints on both source and XSLT/XQuery documents.
Call stack view on both source and XSLT/XQuery documents.
Trace history on both source and XSLT/XQuery documents.
Support for XPath expression evaluation during debugging.
