In their own words

Bots EDI

Bots EDI is open-source software for translating and routing electronic business documents. It is intended for companies exchanging large volumes of EDI files, and the site says it can handle hundreds of thousands of messages monthly. Supported formats include EDIFACT, X12, Tradacoms, EANCOM, XML, JSON, SAP IDoc, CSV and fixed-width files. Translation mappings are written as Python scripts, and a web console lets users configure and supervise translation and routing. Bots provides functional acknowledgments and confirmations, including CONTRL and 997. Communication options include email protocols, FTP, SFTP, FTPS, HTTP(S), file exchange, XML-RPC and direct database access; it can also work with external AS2 servers and VANs. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and other Unix variants, with installation through Python rather than a dedicated Windows installer or Unix distribution package. Bots is licensed under GNU GPL Version 3. The current active fork, Bots NG 4.0.0, requires Python 3.10+ and Django 5/6; the legacy Frozen 3.2.0 requires Python 2.7.
