Hello All, Edifecs XEngine solution provides the ability to validate EDI data and also convert EDI data to XML and vice versa. Edifecs XEngine is not intended to be a translator, but to provide an ideal way for you to leverage your existing EDI investment while taking advantage of the new XML tools and functionality.
Edifecs XEngine consumes the EDI data and converts it into a pre-defined XML format which maintains the EDI look and feel. XEngine can also take this XML format and convert it back to EDI. XML Schema which correspond to the XML data are available for both standard transactions or company specific implementation guidelines that are defined using Edifecs SpecBuilder. Once the data is available as XML, free third-party XML tools such as XML parsers can be then be used to parse the XML data to generate business specific reports, to create custom data views, or to translate data into proprietary formats by using custom XML style sheets. For more information, please contact Edifecs at 425-452-0620 or visit http://www.edifecs.com/xengine.htm.

I know there are products that currently do this, however the XML formats of some of these products don't seem particularly EDI friendly. For example, the XML element names are either something like Element-373, or some derivative of the description of the EDI element. It seems that XML can be mechanically be generated from EDI in a way that the XML resembles the EDI and is familar to mapping people who use EDI, so a natural XML element name would be something like BSN01, and segment would be something like BSN-0100 (where 0100 is the sequence number). What do people prefer? Also, if asking questions like this is inappropriate for this list, please let me know. Thanks, Francis .
