Developing an Application with DataDirect XML Converters

By leveraging DataDirect XML Converters and Stylus Studio, developers have an extensible framework for developing and deploying legacy data integration applications in just three simple steps:

1. Model Non-XML Data: It's easy to get non-XML data into XML with DataDirect XML Converters! For flat-files, EDIFACT, EANCOM, IATA, X12, HL7 and SEF, DataDirect XML Converters supports hundreds of pre-built XML converters for different versions and message types. For relational databases, DataDirect XQuery lets you directly query any relational database (SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, Sybase, etc.) as XML data sources. And using Convert-to-XML, users can visually map from any other flat file or proprietary data format to XML, and DataDirect XML Converters provide an extensibility API allowing you to write your own XML converters. DataDirect XML Converters let you expose any data as an XML data source that can be seamlessly read from or written to from an XSLT or XQuery application.
2. Develop and Test Data Transformations: Stylus Studio provides various XQuery Tools and XSLT tools to create and test your XML data integration application.
3. Deploy Your Application: Use integrated Java or .NET code generation tools to automatically generate the program code required to deploy your XML data integration application.
