Invoking an Adapter Programmatically

The Stylus Studio Java API allows you to access and convert non-XML files to XML, and vice versa. Adapters can be invoked programmatically, in an XQuery application, for example, allowing you to treat non-XML data as XML, manipulate it as needed, and, optionally, write it back to its source in its original format.

Stylus Studio provides adapters for over one dozen common file formats (binary, comma- and tab-separated values, EDI, and others).

This section provides background information on using Stylus Studio adapters in your applications, and it describes demo.bat, a simple Java program installed with Stylus Studio.

This section covers the following topics:

X12 Standards Available Across All Releases

The complete X12 Standards Grid, listing all X12 EDI releases across the top, and the corresponding transaction sets down the left side.

EDIFACT Standards Available Across All Versions

The complete EDIFACT Standards Grid, listing all EDIFACT versions across the top, and the corresponding messages down the left side.

XSLT Debugger

Stylus Studio's XSLT debugger - a requirement for building bug-free XSLT stylesheets and XML data transformation applications. Stylus Studio's XSLT debugger gives you complete visibility and control over the XSLT transformation process.

XML Schema Mapping

Stylus Studio includes a visual XML Schema-to-XML Schema mapping tool that allows you to easily implement sophisticated XML data mappings involving multiple data sources and customized data processing using either XSLT or XQuery code.
