The Standards Developer Kit tutorial provides an overview of the components of the SDK and how they can help automate the implementation and annual maintenance of SWIFT MT and MX standards. The SDK contains machine-readable schemas and spreadsheets for all MT and MX messages that are enriched with full field names and definitions, allowing implementation with existing tools and technologies. It also includes an MT to XML converter sample to simplify the standards release process. The SDK is available by annual subscription and more information can be found on the SDK community website.

for the MT fields and the formats, the
subfields and subfield formats. Dates must be
properly formatted as MT dates. BICs must
follow the BIC pattern, amount fields must
include the comma, etc.
