Chapter 3 Converting Non-XML Files to XML


 

DataDirect XML Converters and custom XML conversions are available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite.

Stylus Studio uses DataDirect XML Converters to convert incoming streams of data from native formats to outgoing streams of XML, and vice-versa. Stylus Studio includes XML Converters for EDI, CSV, binary, and many other file formats. You can also create custom XML converters to convert formats not already supported by DataDirect XML Converters.

This chapter describes how to use DataDirect XML Converters to convert files in Stylus Studio, how to create your own custom XML converters, and how to use files you convert on-the-fly elsewhere in Stylus Studio - as a source for XQuery and XSLT design, for example.
