README

EDIFACT stands for Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce, and Transport.

This repository contains a parser for any EDIFACT file to extract the values from any segment defined in an EDIFACT formatted file.

Ok, but... What is EDIFACT?

Format of an EDIFACT file

• Each line of the file consists of a set of data that belongs to a specific segment of a message.

• A segment is defined by a tag. Following the rest of the data that belongs to that segment. More about segments here.

• A message is a list of segments. Usually, all segments between the UNH and UNT segments compound a message.

• A transaction is the list of messages that belongs to a file.
