XBRL International
The standards organisation's introduction to Inline XBRL.
The data inside the accounts
Inline XBRL, or iXBRL, is an open reporting format. It combines a normal-looking accounts document with structured facts for figures, text, periods, units, dimensions and accounting concepts.
A standard browser shows the published report but keeps the machine-readable detail out of sight. That detail tells you what a figure represents, which period it belongs to, whether it is consolidated and how it relates to other facts.
Graffiti makes the structured data visible, then lets you search, validate, analyse and export it. You can start free with Companies House filings from this website; paid and Demo licences also work on other filing pages and local files through the bookmarklet.
