DataDirect XML Converters™ — Solutions Overview

Need to publish or access legacy data but are still struggling with legacy data formats like EDI, EDIFACT, X12, IATA, EANCOM and flat files? Take a look and see what DataDirect XML Converters™ can do for you!

DataDirect XML Converters™ for Data Integration

XML is the preferred language for data integration, but many applications need to process legacy data that isn't immediately available in an XML format. DataDirect XML Converters™ lets you access any legacy file directly from within your Java or Microsoft .NET applications. And if you're using an XML processing component such as DataDirect XQuery™, Apache Xalan or Saxon, then you can stream any non-XML formats into XML on the fly directly into your XQuery or XSLT application, including thousands of versions and sub-versions of EDI messages (X12, EDIFACT, and IATA), along with other formats like tab-delimited, comma-separated value (CSV), dBase files, and many more.

DataDirect XML Converters™ for Healthcare Resources

Does HL7 fit easily into your organization's data architecture? Or are you over-extended trying to transition from the 2.x standard to HL7 3.x? How about X12 EDI standards? Are they causing integration headaches as well? DataDirect XML Converters can help you with the challenge of converting between XML and EDI-based Healthcare standards!

DataDirect XML Converters™ for XML Report Generation

One of the key benefits of using XML is its support for Report Generation — the ability to publish a single source of information in many different output formats. Tools for converting XML to HTML, help systems, PDF, and PostScript are mature enough that some mainstream commercial publishers use XML to publish books. And DataDirect XML Converters™ further extends XML Publishing with XML Report Writing technologies because of its ability to access any non-XML file as XML which can then simply leverage the powerful report generation features inherent in XSLT and XQuery.

DataDirect XML Converters™ for SOAP and Web Services

SOAP and Web Service architectures produce and consume XML data. DataDirect XML Converters™ is an ideal way to implement Web services, since it can work as an interface between an incoming request as XML and underlying legacy data in non-XML formats.

DataDirect XML Converters™ for Dynamic Web Sites

Many web sites are created from database data, often using ASP or JSP. But what if your product catalog or inventory information is stored in a legacy data format? DataDirect XML Converters™ can be used to directly access the non-XML data sources, and create dynamic HTML pages for use in Websites or to be consumed by AJAX applications.
