• XML validation and processing: RaptorXML Server provides the fastest XML validator and processor for the XML family of standards. It supports XML validation against DTD, XSD, and OASIS catalogs, as well as XSLT validation and processing. The server also offers XQuery validation and processing, enabling complex queries and transformations of XML data.
• JSON validation: With the rising popularity of JSON, RaptorXML Server ensures the validity of transacted data through JSON syntax checking, JSON validation, and JSON Schema validation. This feature is essential for applications that rely on JSON for data interchange and storage.
• YAML validation: RaptorXML Server supports the increasingly popular YAML language. Although YAML does not have an official schema specification, the server validates YAML against JSON Schemas and JSON Schemas written in YAML syntax.
• XBRL validation: RaptorXML+XBRL Server includes specialized support for validation of XBRL taxonomies and instance files. It provides important support for XBRL Dimensions, XBRL Formula, XBRL Table Linkbase, XULE, and OIM. The server has been awarded the XBRL Certified Software designation by XBRL International.
• Developer features: RaptorXML Server offers comprehensive developer features and options. It includes scripts for validation of additional XBRL scenarios and supports integration with other Altova server products, such as FlowForce Server, MapForce Server, and StyleVision Server.
• Cross-platform compatibility: The server is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. This cross-platform support ensures that organizations can deploy RaptorXML Server in various IT environments without compatibility issues.
