In this episode of EDI on the Street, we break down the key differences between ANSI X12, XML, JSON, and flat files—and why those differences matter more than most organizations realize. Drawing from real-world integration and operations experience, the conversation explores how each format impacts reliability, flexibility, scalability, and day-to-day workflows. From the rigid standardization of X12 to the speed of JSON and the risks of flat files, the hosts explain where each format fits—and where it creates challenges. A must-watch for organizations navigating multiple data formats and looking to build a more resilient, well-integrated data exchange strategy.
