badX12

A Python Library for parsing ANSI ASC X12 files.

Installing

Install and update using pip:

pip install -U badX12

A Simple Example

badX12 can be imported and used within your own project like so.

from badx12 import Parser

parser = Parser()
document = parser.parse_document("path-to-file/file.edi")

badX12 can also be used to parse an edi file into JSON or XML via the command line.

badx12 parse "path-to-edi-file"
badx12 parse "path-to-edi-file" -e XML -o "path-to-output-dir"

By default the parse command will output a JSON file to the current user's Documents\badX12 directory. The -e flag can be used to specify the export format, and the -o flag can be used to specify the output directory.
