edi2json

Convert EDIFACT to "raw" JSON

A tiny utility to convert EDIFACT to "raw" JSON. With "raw" we mean that the final JSON is composed of "arrays of arrays of (arrays of) strings". Higher level EDIFACT must be managed afterwards.

Requirements:

• libedi 1.0.1+ http://code.google.com/p/libedi/
• json module from CCAN http://ccodearchive.net/info/json.html
