EdiNation is an online editor and validator for EDI files
With EdiNation, you can do the following, directly in your browser:
- Analyze if your EDI files are compliant with their specs
- Cross-reference any validation errors with the spec
- View, edit, and format EDI files
- Generate 997, 999, or TA1 acknowledgments
- Explore and download EDI specs
- Import SEF or custom OpenEDI specs
EdiNation is safe and fast
EdiNation is a lightweight HTML and JavaScript web application built on top of WebAssembly. All EDI operations, like parsing, validation, and acknowledgments, are local, and EDI data is never transmitted outside the browser.
- Your EDI content never leaves the browser
- All EDI processing is local, in your browser process
- Your EDI files and data are not cached the browser
- Any files you upload or paste into EdiNation remain on your machine
- Processing EDI files locally means better speed and increased performance
The old EdiNation portal, available here, does NOT process files locally and is NOT HIPAA compliant.
EdiNation is free and unlimited*
EdiNation is entirely free and lets you parse, format, validate, and acknowledge any number of EDI files, regardless of size.
- All EdiNation features are free*
- No account needed and no hidden fees
- No limitation on EDI file size
- No limitation on the number of operations/files
- No need to install any software or to configure an email address or serial key
* Excluding the EdiNation Developer API and EdiNation InHouse products, which require paid plans.
Is EdiNation Fully Offline?
No. Although all EDI operations, such as parsing, validation, and acknowledgments, are entirely offline, executed in the browser process on your machine, EdiNation makes the following calls over the Internet:
- HTTP GET https://api.edination.com/wa/v1/format
This call loads the EDI model for parsing and validation. EDI models are the blueprints for every EDI message type and define the structure and all properties that constitute an invoice, a claim, or something else. To learn more about how EdiNation represents EDI models, go to the What are EDI Models article.
The information sent to our cloud API is your API key and the name of the EDI model. When no model name is supplied, the identification of each EDI transaction, such as the transaction ID, version, and EDI standard, is sent instead.
- HTTP GET https://api.edination.com/wa/v1/auth
This call authenticates the sender. It sends over either your paid API key or the default API key for the free plan, whichever is configured in the portal.
You must ensure that your network allows calls to the two endpoints listed above for EdiNation to work properly.
Supported EDI standards
The new portal currently supports only X12 ASC and X12 HIPAA. We are working to add the remaining EDI standards soon. In the meantime, the old portal is still available here. Please note that the old portal remains subject to the previous free plan, with 50 operations per day. The old portal will be decommissioned once all EDI standards have been migrated to the new portal.
