GoXML Simplifies File Transformations: A Functional Product Review

few years ago Kurt Cagle wrote an article discussing how to convert fixed-width text records to XML, a more malleable format, making it possible to use XSL and XSLT to further transform those records into almost any format needed. Kurt's article was educational, an excellent solution, and a fun project to play with, but in the long run, writing tedious and repetitive data transformations manually is a poor business solution. This is where GoXML Transform Designer steps in.

GoXML is a relatively new product on the market that simplifies working with flat files to help step up your data integration projects. The application requires a recent version of the JRE, but the install package checks your system and gives you the option to choose a local JRE if you already have one installed, or install one if you don't.
