The gentleman with whom I had the conversation was very generous in supplying some iXBRL documents with which I could test Gepsio, and I used the following PowerShell script to load the sample and see what I could find out at a high level:
Add-Type -Path "C:\MyPathToGepsio\JeffFerguson.Gepsio.dll"
$XbrlDoc = New-Object -TypeName JeffFerguson.Gepsio.XbrlDocument
$DocumentLocation = "sample-ixbrl.xml"
Write-Host "Loading and validating" $DocumentLocation"..."
$XbrlDoc.Load($DocumentLocation)
Write-Host "Loaded." $XbrlDoc.XbrlFragments.Count "fragments in document."
foreach($XbrlFragment in $XbrlDoc.XbrlFragments)
{
Write-Host $XbrlFragment.Facts.Count "facts in fragment."
Write-Host $XbrlFragment.Units.Count "units in fragment."
Write-Host $XbrlFragment.Contexts.Count "contexts in fragment."
WriteItemAndValue $XbrlFragment "EntityRegistrantName"
WriteItemAndValue $XbrlFragment "TradingSymbol"
WriteItemAndValue $XbrlFragment "DocumentPeriodEndDate"
}
Function WriteItemAndValue
{
param($fragment, $name)
$FoundItem = $fragment.Facts | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $name }
Write-Host $name ": " $FoundItem.Value
}
As it turns out, I have good news and bad news:
- The good news is that Gepsio parses the ful document at the XML level without errors, even when the root of the XML document is not an <xbrl> root.
- The bad news is that Gepsio didn't find any XBRL fragments in the supplied document, despite the document's valid iXBRL tagging.
My plan is to work on Gepsio's iXBRL support this month to see how far I get. I hope to report back on my progress soon. In my ideal world, I would like to release a new CTP of Gepsio this month that includes iXBRL support.
Wish me luck!
