EDI2XML vs Rocket EDX

EDI2XML converts X12 EDI messages to XML or JSON and converts those formats back to EDI. Its REST API detects whether an incoming message is X12, XML, or JSON; version 2.0 can return a 997 Functional Acknowledgment in the API response. API access uses OAuth2 authorization, with refresh tokens generating access tokens valid for one hour. Subscribers receive a Java client, sample EDI and XML files, and XML schema files. The product is offered as an on-premises service, a Web Service, or a fully managed EDI service. On-premises support includes ASC X12, EDIFACT, and HIPAA/X12; the broader supported-standards list also includes TRADACOMS. The managed service covers mapping, trading-partner configuration, standards maintenance, translation, and document exchange on EDI2XML’s private cloud. It can connect to ERP applications through certified connectors, while the company also offers connections between Amazon, Shopify, and BigCommerce stores and back-end systems. The on-premises plan costs $450 per month; a 15-day trial is available.
