JSON Validation

JSON popularity is ever rising, and alongside it the requirement to ensure validity of transacted data. RaptorXML has you covered with JSON syntax checking, JSON validation, JSON Schema validation.

XBRL Validation

In addition to comprehensive XML support, RaptorXML+XBRL Server includes specialized support for validation of XBRL taxonomies and instance files, and, it provides important support for XBRL Dimensions, XBRL Formula, XBRL Table Linkbase, and XULE.

These new standards provide the opportunity to view, validate, and analyze XBRL data in new and productive ways, without compromising interoperability and backwards compatibility. Full support is in an XBRL processor is of the utmost importance.

Scripts for XBRL Validation

Adding to the numerous XBRL standards supported in the list above, we have released several Python scripts for various XBRL validation scenarios, all of which are available for free on GitHub. Download the scripts for validation against:

EDGAR Filer Manual (EFM) version 35 from the SEC
Approved DQC Guidance and Validation Rules from XBRL.US
European Banking Authority (EBA) Filing Rules 4.1

All of these scripts for RaptorXML+XBRL Server use the new Raptor Python v2.2 API, are available as open-source, and are offered under a standard Apache 2.0 license.

Note: in addition to scripts for DQC rules, RaptorXML+XBRL Server now supports XULE .

Read more about these validation rules and Python scripts on the Altova Blog and visit the Altova GitHub repository for more sample projects and resources for developers.

XBRL add-ins for Excel

As described below, the .NET API for RaptorXML allows developers to create Excel plug-ins for automatically saving data entered by users in Excel to a valid XBRL format.

An add-in has already been created for the Work-In-Progress (WIP) taxonomy for the Surety industry, both for consumption of WIP reports on the surety side via Altova MapForce, as well as creation of valid WIP XBRL documents by contractors directly in Excel.
