New in RaptorXML Server 2025

Version 2025 of Altova RaptorXML Server was announced on October 22, 2024. Learn about all the new features below and update to the latest version.

RaptorXML Server 2025 (October 22, 2024)RaptorXMLRaptorXML+XBRL
Support for YAML schemas
Native callback support for .NET and Python
EBA XBRL data quality checks

YAML support

Though YAML does not have a formalized schema spec, YAML instances are often validated against JSON Schemas. This was already supported on RaptorXML Server. Now, in Version 2025, RaptorXML also provided high-performance validation against JSON Schemas written in YAML syntax.

Native callback support for .NET and Python

When called from a .NET or Python application to execute XPath, XQuery, or XSLT processing, RaptorXML Server can now seamlessly process external Python or .NET functions called within those standard XML languages. This gives programmers enormous flexibility to extend the standard execution of XPath, XQuery, and XSLT with domain-specific functionality.

Support for native processing of external language integrations makes RaptorXML Server even more powerful for high-performance validation and processing, giving customers full flexibility for customizing processing based on their specific requirements.

Native callback support for additional languages may be added in future product versions based on customer requests.

EBA XBRL data quality checks

In addition to requiring validation against the EBA taxonomy, the European Banking Authority outlines additional, optional data quality checks as part of its guidelines for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of data reported by financial institutions. These measures go beyond the mandatory validations, offering institutions additional mechanisms to improve data quality and ensure compliance with regulatory standards prior to submission. Opting to implement additional quality checks can minimize risks associated with incorrect data submissions and enhance overall compliance with regulatory requirements.

RaptorXML+XBRL Server now offers the option to running the additional data quality checks recommended by the European Banking Authority. This offers Altova customers a significant advantage, as other EBA tools may not support running these checks.
