RE: [HAPI-devel] Extending HAPI to support X12

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Aaron,  

There was a review of open-source X12 products on the openhealth list today.
I know nothing about this area, but OpenEDI (http://openedi.sourceforge.net)
was mentioned as a good candidate.  Browsing through their CVS it looks like
they have lots of X12 code:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/openedi/openedi/engine/org/op
enedix/message/x12/  My impression is that you would get a better start
there than with HAPI. 

The review should show up here in a few days:
