Provide handy tools for dealing with XML files in the context of EDI exchanges.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Provides the technical foundation for exchanging XML files with external systems through EDI, letting Odoo validate incoming XML against a schema and convert it into structured data.
This is a base/technical module: it does not add menus, screens or buttons for end users. It gives developers and integrators the building blocks to handle XML documents in EDI exchanges.
- It defines an XML handler component (
edi.xml.handler) used by other EDI modules. - The handler validates XML content against an XSD schema (a file describing the allowed structure of the XML). The schema location is configured as
module:pathand is required; if it is missing, the component refuses to start. - Validation can either raise an error when the XML does not match the schema, or simply return the error message as text.
- The handler can also parse XML content and return it as a dictionary-like structure, so other code can read the values easily.
- A helper converts a Python dictionary back into a valid XML string, with optional pretty formatting and support for namespaces and attributes.
It depends on the edi and component modules and requires the Python library xmlschema. No business rules, scheduled jobs, emails or reports are added by this module itself; those would come from the modules built on top of it.
