--> XBRL-eXtensible Business Reporting Language is a manifestation of XML.

--> Reusable - XBRL data once entered can be reused to represent the same data in multiple ways and multiple formats.

Platform Independent & Region Independent - XBRL is an open standard and hence platform independent, this allows the data to be exchanged and transferred with ease. XBRL allows the presentation and exchange of data in many different languages
