pyedi830

Pyedi830 uses JSON format definitions to make it easy to parse and convert from EDI830 file to JSON and CSV file/data.

TODOs

• Finish 830 definition
• Implement colorful exceptions

EDI Format Definitions

EDI830 parser messages consist of a set of Segments (usually lines) comprised of Elements. Some segments can be part of a Loop. These formats are defined in JSON. See the provided format(s) for examples.

A loop has certain expected properties:

• id (Loop ID)
• repeat (Max times the loop can repeat)

Each segment has certain expected properties:

• id (Segment ID)
• name (Human-readable segment name)
• req (Whether segment is required: [M]andatory, [O]ptional)
• max_uses (Some segments can be included more than once)
• notes (Optional details for hinting documentation)
• syntax (An optional list of syntax rules, defined below)
• elements (List of included elements)

Each element has certain expected features:

• id (Element ID)
• name (Human-readable element name)
• req (Whether segment is required: [M]andatory, [O]ptional)
• data_type (Type of segment data, defined below)
• data_type_ids (If data_type is ID, this is a dict of valid IDs with descriptions)
• length (Dict specifying field length)
  • min (Min length of field)
  • max (Max length of field)

Valid data types include:

• AN (Any data type)
• DT (Date, must be provided as Python DATE or DATETIME object)
• ID (Alphanumeric ID. List of valid IDs provided as dict with descriptions)
• R (Percentage)
• Nx (Number with x decimal points)
• TM (Time, must be provided as Python TIME or DATETIME object)

Syntax rules are specified as a dict with a rule and a list of criteria. Valid syntax rules include:

• ATLEASTONE (where at least one of the element IDs in the criteria list is included and is not empty)
• ALLORNONE (where either all of the element IDs in the criteria list are included, or none are)
• IFATLEASTONE (if the first element in criteria is included, then at least one of the other elements must be included)
