XBridge (eba-xbridge)

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
