XML for EDI

With the emergence of XML, small- to mid-size companies can interface with larger EDI systems to aid in business-to-business electronic commerce without having to set up and maintain expensive and complex EDI systems. This is a discussion of the use of XML as an e-commerce solution for small- to mid-size companies who need to do business with companies who require the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems. The accompanying CD-ROM features diagrams, example code, and demo software illustrating the interoperation of XML and EDI systems.
