Stylus Studio's Convert to XML is an adapter you use to build converters that convert non-XML files to XML documents. Convert to XML converters can handle a number of file formats, including text, binary, and EDI. Another advantage of using Convert to XML to build your own converters is that the converter can be used to open a non-XML file as an XML document anywhere in Stylus Studio - as the source document for XQuery Mapper, for example. Once you build the converter, the conversion process takes place automatically any time you open a file with it.
