Hi,
I was browsing through web and found something interesting related to
XML vs EDI. I was thinking that it would be a good idea to share new
things within this group of EDI professionals.
Here is link which does a right kind of comparision between EDI and XML.
http://www.edidev.com/XMLvsEDI.html
I was bit surprised to see that how an XML file can grow to its
equivalent EDI file... see below snapshot:
