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:

Translating X12 Documents to XML

The X12 to XML Converter is a built-in function of the adapter library. The XML that is generated is well commented and indented, and can be used anywhere XML is normally used — with XML Schemas, XSLT, XQuery, etc.

Translating EDIFACT Documents to XML

The EDIFACT to XML Converter is a primary component of the adapter library. The XML that is generated is well commented and indented, and can be used anywhere XML is normally used — with XML Schemas, XQuery, XSLT, and so on.

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.

XSL:FO Editor

The XSL-FO editor provides syntax help, code completion integrated PDF preview, and integration with industry-leading XSL-FO processors including RenderX XEP and Apache FOP. Simplify XSL FO development with Stylus Studio.
