How to View XBRL thumbnail
Communicate financial data with XBRL.

XBRL is short for "extensible business reporting language" and it is part of the family of extensible markup languages (XML). The XBRL language enables you to communicate financial data in a way that saves both time and costs, according to xbrl.org. XBRL files come in two file types: XBRL instances and XBRL taxonomies. XBRL instances end with .xml , and XBRL taxonomies end with .xsd. You can view these files with the open source program, Dragon View.
