Overview

XBridge is a Python library which main function is to convert XBRL-XML files into XBRL-CSV files by using EBA's taxonomy. It works only with EBA Taxonomy upon version 3.4. Library must be updated on each new EBA taxonomy version.

Installation

To install the library, run the following command:

pip install eba-xbridge

How XBridge works:

Firstly, an XBRL-XML file has to be selected to convert it. Then, that XBRL-XML file is input in the following function contained in the API package:

>>> from xbridge.api import convert_instance

>>> input_path = "data/input"

>>> output_path = "data/output"

>>> convert_instance(input_path, output_path)

The sources to do this process are two: The XML-instances and EBA´s taxonomy.

The output is the converted XBRL-CSV file placed in the output_path, as zip format
