EDI X12 to JSON parser Python 3.5 available? [closed]

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

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.

Bots is fully functional software for edi (Electronic Data Interchange) Note: Use python 2.7; Python >= 3.0 does not work. See Installation documentation.
