Please apply “Preformatted text” formatting to XML after you copy-paste it, as without that XML tags do not show up.
Anyway, as the error message nicely explains, the file is invalid due to a mismatched tag in line 158 column 2. If you want to check the file using an other software, then you can drag-and-drop the XML file into Google Chrome and see if it shows its content or reports an error.
