The XEDI (pronounced "zee-dee") Translator is the ONLY XML translator to support ALL
documents in ALL versions of both X12 (EDI) and EDIFACT out of the box. While there are
other mapping tools out there, XEDI is the only tool that provides full EDI and EDIFACT translation
to XML (and back) immediately. Other tools only handle a subset of EDI or EDIFACT transactions
- this means that you must manually map the EDI or EDIFACT transactions to XML and back (an
extremely difficult and time consuming process).
A partial listing of the X12 transactions supported by XEDI is available at:
http://www.xmls.com/products/xedi/documents.xml?id=xedi_documents
(Note that this is a partial listing - XEDI supports all X12 and EDIFACT transactions.)
XEDI also supports several industry standard markup languages such as CommerceOne's
xCBL, RosettaNet and Oracle's OAG.
XEDI has been endorsed by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). The AIA Electronic
Commerce Working Group believes that XEDI should be considered by the Organization for the
Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), Open Applications Group (OAG),
and ANSI ASC X12 as a superior method for XML development.
XEDI was also selected by CommerceOne to handle EDI and EDIFACT transactions for Covisint
(the GM/Ford/Chrysler exchange).
XEDI is a Java-based translator that uses completely open standards. Data dictionaries and
transformation instruction sets are all in XML, so the translator is easily extended and
customizes to meet a company's particular EDI trading requirements.
XMLSolutions' EDI to XML approach is based entirely (100%) on the X12 or EDIFACT data
dictionaries and the associated business rules that are defined by the applicable standards
body for each transaction set.
For an EDI or EDIFACT document translation, go to:

The main XEDI site is at: http://www.xmls.com/products/xedi/?idref=xedi.
White papers and other information on XEDI is available at http://www.xedi.org.
Hope this helps!
