Sorted JSON

In order to make JEDI easier to read when it returns from our /translate endpoint, we have applied a custom sorting to the JSON renderer. JEDI will now order JEDI as the segments and elements are ordered in EDI. The order be will be preserved in node or browser applications. Other platforms may not keep the key ordering.

{
  "interchanges": [
    {
      "ISA": {
        "01": "00",
        "02": "          "
      },
      "groups": [
        {
          "GS": {
            "01": "PO",
            "02": "SENDERGS",
            "08": "004010"
          },
          "transaction_sets": [
            {
              "heading": {
                "010_ST": {
                  "01": "850",
                  "02": "000000001"
                },
                "020_BEG": {
                  "01": "00",
                  "02": "SA",
                  "03": "A99999-01",

                }
              },
              "detail": {},
              "summary": {}
            }
          ],
          "GE": {
            "01": "1",
            "02": "1"
          }

      ],
      "IEA": {

      },
      "delimiters": {

        "sub_element": ">"
      }
    }
  ]
}

__version field in JEDI documents

To distinguish between versions of JEDI documents, we've added an attribute called __version to the response of /translate.

{
  "code": "valid",
  "output": {
    "__version": "jedi@1.0",
    "interchanges": {...},
    "meta": {...},
  },
}

Trimmed ISA white space in JEDI documents

Added new output option to trim the ISA whitespace if enabled. Today, the ISA in JEDI format looks like

"ISA": {
  "01": "00",
  "02": "          ",
  "03": "00",
  "04": "          ",
  "05": "ZZ",
  "06": "TCWDEPOT       ",
  "07": "ZZ",
  "08": "FVLI0006       ",
  "09": "210202",
  "10": "0235",
  "11": "U",
  "12": "00200",
  "13": "005787399",
  "14": "0",
  "15": "P",
  "16": ":"
}

If clean_envelope_whitespace is set to true, it instead outputs as:

"ISA": {
  "01": "00",
  "02": "",
  "03": "00",
  "04": "",
  "05": "ZZ",
  "06": "TCWDEPOT",
  "07": "ZZ",
  "08": "FVLI0006",
  "09": "210202",
  "10": "0235",
  "11": "U",
  "12": "00200",
  "13": "005787399",
  "14": "0",
  "15": "P",
  "16": ":",
}

JSON EDI view in the Inspector

You can now toggle between "Rich view" and "JSON view" in the Inspector. The JSON view displays the EDI input in our custom JSON EDI (JEDI for short) format, along with the same annotations that were present in Terminal, for faster manual scanning of the file.

Support missing X12 003XXX versions

Support for 003040 and 003030 are now visible from our EDI Reference. More to come.

Faster EDI Inspector experience on the web

A missing header on responses from EDI Core meant that browsers would always need to issue two synchronous requests in order to translate and validate payloads in EDI Inspector. The addition of the missing headers speeds up the experience considerably, especially for users far away from Virginia, USA.
