Validating XML from/to EDI

Stylus Studio provides several document wizards that convert various EDI dialects and message types to XML Schema. Such an XML Schema can be useful if you are converting XML to EDI because it allows you to ensure that the EDI created by the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) XML Converter conforms to a particular EDI message type standard. There are document wizards for all EDI dialects supported in Stylus Studio: EDIFACT, EANCOM, IATA, and X12.

You can also use the XML Schema created by the various EDI to XML Schema document wizards to validate data after you have converted EDI to XML, when URL-based error checking is disabled, to determine how well the incoming stream conforms to the EDIFACT standards.

See Creating XML Schema from EDI on page 519 for more information on using these document wizards.
