Method Detail

getPeriodType

String getPeriodType()
                     throws XBRLException

Returns:

the period attribute value (one of instant or duration) for concepts in the XBRL item substitution group and null for tuple concepts.

Throws:

XBRLException - if the periodType is missing for concepts in the XBRL item substitution group.

getBalance

String getBalance()
                  throws XBRLException

Get the concept's balance, one of debit or credit

Throws:

XBRLException

isNumeric

boolean isNumeric()
                  throws XBRLException

Returns:

true if the concept is numeric.

Throws:

XBRLException

getFacts

List<Fact> getFacts()
                    throws XBRLException

Returns:

the list of facts in the data store giving values for this concept

Throws:

XBRLException

getFactCount

long getFactCount()
                  throws XBRLException

Returns:

the number of facts for this concept

Throws:

XBRLException

getFactIndices

Set<String> getFactIndices()
                           throws XBRLException

Returns:

the set of indices of facts for this concept

Throws:

XBRLException

getPresentationNetworkLinkroles

List<URI> getPresentationNetworkLinkroles()
                                          throws XBRLException

Returns:

the list of extended link roles for the presentation networks involving this concept as a source or a target.

Throws:

XBRLException
