i4XML

What is i4XML?

i4XML is a powerful software solution designed specifically for the efficient processing and conversion of XML data on IBM i systems (formerly AS/400). As an XML interpreter, i4XML enables XML files to be read and written directly from physical files without cumbersome workarounds or additional middleware. The software simplifies the handling of structured data, which is indispensable in areas such as web development, databases and application integration. It translates complex XML structures into understandable formats and helps companies to quickly process and exchange large amounts of data. i4XML is specially optimised for IBM i environments and offers seamless integration into existing system landscapes.

Advantages of i4XML

With i4XML, your company saves considerable time and money in XML processing. The software speeds up internal processes by performing data conversions up to 50 times faster than conventional methods. It reduces dependence on specialised XML experts, as it is intuitive to use and accessible even to teams without in-depth XML knowledge. In addition, i4XML minimises sources of error through automated mappings and validations, which increases data quality. The integrated FTP and email clients facilitate data exchange with external partners and promote smooth collaboration in the supply chain. Overall, i4XML strengthens your IT infrastructure by providing efficiency, scalability and reliability in XML-based workflows – ideal for dynamic B2B environments.
