XML to EDI
Convert XML order documents to compliant X12 EDI 850, 810, or 856 via REST API or web upload. Bidirectional XML-to-EDI and EDI-to-XML supported. Built for developers integrating B2B trading partners.
How XML to EDI Conversion Works
Programmatic, schema-driven, bidirectional. Designed for engineers, not click-ops.
POST XML to API
Send your XML document to the OrderSync API endpoint. Specify the target trading partner so the right EDI spec gets applied. Synchronous or async processing depending on volume.
Schema Mapping
OrderSync maps your XML elements to EDI segments. Provide an XSD for strict validation, or let AI infer the mapping from samples. Mapping is reusable across all subsequent calls.
Generate EDI
OrderSync emits a syntactically valid X12 EDI 850, 810, or 856 with the trading partner's exact qualifiers, separators, and version. Validation runs before send.
Transmit and Track
Route through AS2, SFTP, or VAN to the trading partner. Webhooks fire on send, on 997 acknowledgment receipt, and on exceptions. Full audit trail tied back to the original XML.
Built for Engineers, Priced for Teams
Skip the enterprise middleware license. Get the same conversion capability through a REST API.
Bidirectional Conversion
Same engine handles XML to EDI and EDI to XML. Useful when integrating systems with mismatched protocols on each side. One vendor, one mapping definition, both directions.
REST API, Not GUI Mapper
Engineers integrate through a documented REST API rather than a drag-and-drop GUI. Mappings live as code, version control with the rest of your application, and deploy through standard CI/CD.
Cheaper Than SAP CPI or BizTalk
Enterprise iPaaS platforms charge by node, by user, or by message. OrderSync prices the conversion API as a flat usage tier. Suitable for teams that need EDI conversion without a six-figure platform license.
Schema-on-Read for Prototyping
During development, skip the XSD and let AI infer the mapping. For production, lock in a strict schema for guaranteed validation. Move from prototype to production without rewriting the mapping layer.
Quick Start
Convert an XML order document to EDI 850 with a single API call.
curl -X POST https://api.ordersync.io/v1/convert \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d @order.xml \
-G --data-urlencode "from=xml" \
--data-urlencode "to=edi-850" \
--data-urlencode "partner=walmart"
# Response: { "edi": "ISA*00*...IEA*1*000000001~", "validation": "passed" }Reverse direction is the same call with from and to swapped. SDKs for Node, Python, Java, and .NET available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The same engine handles both directions. POST your XML to the API and get back compliant X12 EDI 850, 810, or 856. POST EDI to a different endpoint and get back well-formed XML matching your schema. Useful when integrating systems where one side speaks XML (Java enterprise apps, SOAP services) and the other speaks EDI (retail trading partners).
Optional. If you have an XSD, OrderSync uses it for strict validation. If you don't, AI infers the structure from sample documents and generates the mapping. Schema-on-read for prototyping, schema-on-write for production.
Yes for the XML-to-EDI conversion use case specifically. SAP CPI and BizTalk are full integration platforms with broader scope and matching license costs. OrderSync handles XML-to-EDI conversion through a REST API at a fraction of the cost. Customers commonly use OrderSync for retailer-facing EDI while keeping their existing iPaaS for internal integration.
Standard REST API. POST a document, get back the converted output. Webhooks notify on async events (acknowledgments received, exceptions raised). SDKs available for Node, Python, Java, and .NET. No special tooling, no GUI mapper, no enterprise license server.
OrderSync runs as a managed cloud service by default. For regulated environments, the same conversion engine can run inside a customer VPC. Contact us for on-prem deployment requirements.
