EDILightWeightDocument is a component that provides a fast and easy way to create EDI files. EDILightWeightDocument follows an object oriented hierarchy schema that makes it easy to use and understand.

It’s as simple as creating a new EDILightWeightDocument object and adding loops, segments and data elements to it.

Difference between EDIDocument and EDILightWeightDocument
- EDILightWeightDocument is much more memory efficient. It only creates objects when it needs to, resulting in less memory usage. This is useful when loading large EDI files.
- EDILightWeightDocument does not have smart features like auto trim of elements, element padding and removal of empty trailing elements.
- EDILightWeightDocument is a bit faster at generating EDI files since it does not contain any smart features.
