How go I parse EDIFACT in Java?

www.smooks.org - A template-based text parser. They have suitable EDI examples that I was looking to use to implement for Walmart 810s before they dumped my products.


Parsing EDIFACT is easy. You can find many libraries to do it. For example,

http://code.google.com/p/edicoder/

All these libraries simply break up the messages into segments.

The hard part with EDIFACT is to transform the message into some meaningful objects. This is very application specific and I doubt you will find any libraries. Even if you find one, it will be specific to a narrow field, like hotel reservation.


try: http://bots.sourceforge.net not so much a library, but translates edifact to the format you prefer....xml....csv....etc
