EDI X12 to JSON parser Python 3.5 available?

json parsing python-3.5 edi x12
Aakash Basu picture Aakash Basu · Mar 8, 2018 · Viewed 8.4k times · Source

I have a few doubts -

1) How shall I use the existing EDI X12 to XML parser? I'm using Python 3.5.

a) Bots, uses python 2, which shall not support python >= 3. b) pyx12, there is no documentation, don't know how to use it. c) Couldn't find any other good parser in open source.

2) If I want to go about building a parser, how should I? I mean, I'm new to python itself, writing a parser algorithm is tad too difficult for me.

Thanks, Aakash.

I would recommend some options:

https://github.com/azoner/pyx12

Pyx12 is a HIPAA X12 document validator and converter. It parses an ANSI X12N data file and validates it against a representation of the Implementation Guidelines for a HIPAA transaction.

https://github.com/slott56/TigerShark

TigerShark is an X12 EDI message parser that can be tailored to a specific partner in the health care payment ecosystem.

And here all the documentation needed for bots.

http://bots.sourceforge.net/en/index.shtml

Bots is fully functional software for edi (Electronic Data Interchange)
