Pronpun:
No question is ever stupid! There are a few questions
before an answer can be given:
1. Will your trading partner provide you with a DTD?
2. If not, will the XML data be consistent?
If you have a DTD you are in good shape. If the
XML is consistent then you will be o.k. If the XML is not
consistent, this will require a lot of work.
The first thing you will need to do is to do an analysis
of the input (XML) and determine what the transformation requirements
are. If you have a DTD, there are a couple of products that will help
you in the analysis of the input data. Some of the tools that I like
are:
Near and Far (Opentext nee Microstar)
XML Authority (Extensibility)
DTD2HTML (free Perl program written by Earl Hood)
XML Spy
You will want to map the XML components to your output
requirements. Once you have performed the analysis, they you
can select your favorite conversion tool. Some of the tools
that I use are:
Omnimark (this is a good tool if you have a DTD, it is
good even without the DTD but it validates
the input with a DTD.)
XSLT (there has been a lot of messages on the pros and
Your favorite programming language. I know a lot of
companies/people who write conversion programs in C
and C++. This can only be done if you know the data
is consistent.
XML/EDI mappers. There are a few on the market and some
in alpha and beta.
Which tools you select depend largely on your current
and/or intended environment. Not all tools are created
equally, but you don't always need a Mercedes when a VW
will do.
