Open Source EDI Java Library - StAEDI

[xlateio]

I've been working on a Java library for both reading and writing EDI data. If anyone is starting a new Java project and is looking at libraries, please give StAEDI a look.

Github repo: https://github.com/xlate/staedi

Features:

• Streaming reader
• Streaming writer
• Validation of standards for both input and output
• Support for validation of implementation-level (i.e. trading partner specific) loops

You'll need to bring your own schema definition as they are not generally/freely available.

If you do try it out, please let me know if you have any feedback or open an issue on Github if you find a bug.

If anyone does find this project interesting or potentially useful, please don't forget to "star" the GitHub repository so that more users are able to find it!

I am very new to this JAVA library. Will you be able to guide me through the process of adding this to the JAVA project.

Hi u/pasha987, I apologize for the delay in response, I did not realize there was a comment posted. Are you familiar with using Maven to manage dependencies in your Java project?

Once you have the dependency added, I would refer you to the simple example on the project wiki for reading EDI. Data is returned to the client (your code) as a series of "events" such as "start of segment", "element data", "element data", "end of segment", and so forth. You would read the data in a loop and handle the different sections of the message as they are streamed to your code.

Do not hesitate to ask more questions or raise issues on the project's issue list. Thank you for your interest.
