Introduction

The Generate EDI to XML Map utility provides a largely automated mechanism for converting an EDI transaction to an XML representation. The utility uses the EDI standard as input to create a map that will convert EDI transactions into the corresponding XML representation.

This utility derives the XML tag names from the segment and element descriptions found in the standards X12 transaction definition. When you run the map on a given transaction, missing X12 segments will not be generated nor will empty X12 elements be generated in the XML data output.
