How can I find a missing end tag in my XML document?

I'm working with a large XML file containing demographic information for clients, and I'm encountering an error indicating a missing end tag. The validation tool I'm using doesn't specify where the issue is located, and with about 280,000 lines and around 5,000 client entries, manually searching for it is not feasible for me. I prefer not to use online validators due to privacy concerns since the data is quite sensitive. I'm currently editing this XML document with Notepad++. Is there an efficient way to identify the missing end tag?

You might want to try using Notepad++'s built-in XML parser. It can handle large XML files and should help you identify the missing tag. Browsers also have XML parsers that usually do a decent job with larger files, so you can give that a shot too.
