SWIFT Standards Developer Kit

The Standard Developer Kit (SDK) provides a coherent set of electronic Standards resources designed to ease the implementation of ISO standards using up-to-date technology.

The SDK extends the documentation of standards that SWIFT provides through the SWIFT User Handbook to include processable content to support standards implementation, from analysis though design, build, document and test.

The Standard Developer Kit offers a developer components including:

MX Repository	The MX Repository contains the full definition of each MX message ‘business’ and ‘message’ details, and the links between them in a process-able XML file. The SDK MX content also includes a library of MX message enriched, pre-formatted spreadsheets based on the MX repository. Additionally the SDK MX content also includes the library of MX enriched schemas , enriched with the field names, field definitions and other content generated from the MX Repository.
MT/XML Schema Library	The MT/XML Schema Library includes XML schemas for all MT messages categories 1 through 9, including category 0, system messages plus a schema for the header and trailer blocks. The MT/XML Schema Library allows traditional MT messages to be processed using commodity XML tools.
MT/MX Translation Testing Tool	The MT/MX Translation Testing Tool is an executable implementation of SWIFT’s published translation rules. It is provided with a set of test messages and accompanying documentation. This test tool is intended to allow customers and vendors implementing translation projects to test that their implementations conform to the published Standards Translation Rules.
