Ruby EDI X12 Parser

General Information

This is a direct port of Prasad Poruporuthan’s X12::Parser Perl library for Ruby. Being the very first version, and pretty much a direct translation, it has more Perlisms than Rubyisms.

There is no real documentation right now, or unit tests. If you need to use the library, the best resource is:

search.cpan.org/~prasad/X12/Readme.pod

It works pretty much the same way right now.

How you can help

Read the TODO document. There are some things that this library could use, but I am not going to implements any time soon:

• to_xml output

• to_yaml output

• anything else that you can think of.

I am not looking to map 100% of any of the X12 specifications.

Also, I don’t have access to the full ANSI X12 documents.
