Built-In Adapters

In addition to the adapters you create using the Convert to XML module ( .conv files), Stylus Studio comes bundled with numerous predefined adapters to assist you in converting files to XML documents. They can be used to convert many common file formats, such as EDI, CSV, dBase, RTF, and Windows .ini files.

The process for using user-defined and built-in adapters is essentially the same, as described in the following section, How to Open a File Using an Adapter.
