Converting To XML
EDIFileLoader allows developers to load EDI files and convert them to XML
Example
// Create a new instance of EDIFileLoader
EDIFileLoader loader = new EDIFileLoader();
// Set the type of EDI file that you are about the load
loader.EDIFileType = FileType.X12; //Or FileType.EDIFACT
// Set the source of EDI data, whether you are loading from an in-memory string or a file
loader.EDISource = EDISource.File; // Or EDISource.DataString
// Set the EDI file path to load
loader.EDIFile = “C:\\EDIFile.txt;
// load the data
EDILightWeightDocument loadedDocument = loader.Load();
//Convert to XML
XmlDocument xmlDoc = loadedDocument.ToXml();
//Or save to a file
loadedDocument.ToXml(“C:\\EDIFile.xml“);
Since there are no rules required EDIFileLoader only parses and loads all the segments in one loop. It does not group the segments into a loop hierarchy structure.
