Validating XBRL via Arelle with Java

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi all,

Are there any examples of how to use the Arelle API to validate XBRL from Java?

We currently use a Schematron to validate business rules of incoming XBRL files and are now trying to validate those incoming XBRL files against the XSDs first.

I have XSD validation working, but it is downloading the XSDs from the internet every time and I haven't figured out how to get a catalog resolver working. I posted this about my problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79573162/error-validating-xbrl-using-catalog-xml-to-ensure-only-local-xsd-files-are-used/79576320

A possible second option would be to use Arelle as a web server, but I would like a starting point to get this up and running. If I use Arelle in this way, will it cache the XSDs?

There are a couple quite-old .java examples in here: https://github.com/Arelle/Arelle/tree/master/arelle/archive

 

The built-in cache in Arelle prevents going out to the internet repeatedly.

OK, I found those and figured out the usage pattern, which is pretty easy. I can make a call like http://localhost:9292/rest/xbrl/relative/path/to/file.xml/validation/xbrl?media=json which is nice.

How does Arelle go with multiple concurrent requests? Can we configure it for number of threads?

Also, is there an official Docker container with Arelle?
