Explain error 'XML import parse failure at line'

Them software programmers live in a different world.

If you get an error similar to the following:

XML import parse failure at line 1, col 1 (byte 0; ""): Invalid document end

It means that import function is aborting because it is not finding proper input.

And by proper input, it is more likely that the filetype is not correct, as invalid input path will likely throw up other errors.

And example: I was supposed to use importImages in MediaWiki Maintenance Shell. I mistakenly tried to use importDump instead. As import dump was not looking for images in the path that I have specified, it has produced that error. Using importImages instead with the same path resulted in what I was looking for.
