The SWIFT Parser

The SWIFT Document Processor (SDP) / SWIFT Parser Engine will parse a raw unstructured swift text (representing a SWIFT Document) as input and return a structured Document Object as output.

The SDP API returns Structured Data Object available in two formats:

• a Javascript Object Notation (JSON) object: available via an API
• a database object (table/view) that can be queried using standard SQL

An SDP Scheduler: retrieves new SWIFT documents from the SWIFT Alliance Server hosted with the financial institution automatically and parses this document into the SDP Database storage.

The parsed SWIFT documents will be then be uploaded into into the SDP Web Portal for management reporting
