VorteXML Allows for Easy Conversion of Structured Text Data Output into Valid XML[December 18th 2000] Datawatch Corporation has announced that it is offering a free, fully functional beta release version of VorteXML, a software tool that allows users to easily convert structured text data into XML. A free downloadable beta version of VorteXML is available immediately at www.vortexml.com.VorteXML allows users to extract, transform and export valid XML from any recurring structured text data output such as reports, invoices, log files and EDI documents. In many cases, this output is the sole source of straightforward access to this information. Using structured text data output can eliminate the need to decipher the complex database schema and program logic of existing systems. Users can generate XML documents without "reinventing the wheel".
“Although XML is the consensus format to enable straightforward data
exchange between systems and organisations, the ability to transform
existing transactional data output into XML particularly for B2B is
still a big roadblock for many organisations,” said John Kitchen, vice
president of marketing at Datawatch. “VorteXML is a practical short cut
for taking the output from existing systems and transforming it into XML
– it eliminates the need to use complex 4GL or other database
programming tools to gather data for XML creation.
Designed to make data transformation as easy as possible, VorteXML
utilises proven report parsing and recognition technology from
Datawatch’s industry leading report mining Monarch software to reduce
the complexity of transforming text data to valid XML.
VorteXML reads structured text data files downloaded from any mainframe
or mini computer, or produced on a PC. These files are commonly known
as print files or spool files, but are also referred to as text files
(TXT), formatted text files, PRN files and SDF files.
Datawatch Corporation is a leading provider of business
intelligence/enterprise reporting, data transformation and support
centre solutions that enable organisations to increase productivity,
reduce costs and gain competitive advantage. Datawatch products are
