DataDirect XML Converters™
DataDirect XML Converters™ are high-performance Java™ and .NET components that provide bi-directional, programmatic access to virtually any non-XML file including EDI, flat files, and other legacy formats. DataDirect XML Converters allow developers to seamlessly stream any non-XML data as XML to industry-leading XML processing components or to any application. They support StAX, SAX, XmlReader, XmlWriter, DOM and I/O streaming interfaces, and can be embedded directly for transformation purposes, or as part of a chain of programs including XSLT and XQuery, or even inside XML pipelines. DataDirect XML Converters maximize developer productivity and provide a fast, scalable solution for converting between EDI and other legacy formats and XML.
Improve Productivity – Easily Transform EDI and Flat Files to XMLToday’s Web services, Web sites, and data integration needs are based on XML. Enterprises are dealing with myriad legacy EDI and flat file types, often requiring intense manual coding to convert to XML. DataDirect XML Converters automatically transform thousands of EDI and Flat File formats to XML and back – with no development required – they maximize developer productivity and provide a fast, scalable solution. |
Document Streaming for Performance and ScalabilityDataDirect XML Converters allow the easy manipulation of large documents through a streaming architecture design. They leverage the SAX, StAX, XmlReader and XmlWriter streaming XML APIs. Easily EmbeddableDataDirect XML Converters are easily embeddable into Java and .NET applications, or your XML processing component. They require no other product or application server, and have no server of their own. |

XML Tools for DataDirect XML Converter Development
Supported data formats are enabled out-of-the-box with no custom development required. Users can design converters for other custom data formats using Stylus Studio, an award-winning XML IDE with advanced XQuery tools including integration with DataDirect XQuery. Stylus Studio provides visual design tools for the creation of custom non-XML to XML mappings for any other file format. Stylus Studio is available for Windows 2000 SP2, Windows XP or Windows Vista.
The DataDirect XML Converters are packaged separately based on the data format being converted, or in a bundle enabling users to convert all supported file types and Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite for additional extensibility.
