## Document class

The Document represents the entire inline xbrl document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.



**Inheritance:** [Document](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/document) → 
[Node](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node)



The Document type exposes the following members:
