Support 91-1 EDIFACT

[lawrence-tierney-daiwasports]

Hi there,

It would be nice if Smooks had bindings and mappings for EDIFACT 91-1.

Reason: my organisation has a "black box" EDIFACT system for Invoices, Orders and Dispatch Advice, we produce and consume v91-1 messages. We are updating our DB and the system requires to be re-written from the ground up but it needs to support 91-1.

After having looked at the below realise this is unlikely.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

I'd say it's not high in the priority list. If your organisation is open to funding its development then I'm sure that we can prioritise it.

Yeah I figured as much; it is pretty ancient. TBH I can't see us funding the development (not that I personally would be adverse). Thanks for the response anyway.

You might want to consider using the EDI cartridge with a rudimentary DFDL schema that captures all segments and data elements. But if you need validation to happen in Smooks then it's a different story.

Good idea. I'll look into it. Cheers mate
