You can download all of the standard EDI specs either in text format or in OpenEDI JSON format. The downloaded EDI specs can be used as EDI documentation and shared with partners or team members to create interactive mapping documents or generate clients/mocks in any programming language.

The downloaded EDI specs can also be used as the base for any amendments required when supporting partner-specific formats. All custom changes to an EDI spec can be reimported as a new model and used to overwrite the model that is automatically matched to an EDI message when analyzing it or converting it to JSON.
