Edison is a Python library for parsing EDIFACT messages. Instead of treating a message as a flat list of segments, it models messages as a syntax tree: segments can define groups of child segments, recursively.
You define the syntax tree once, then parse, validate, or pretty-print messages against that structure.
It works by converting the syntax tree to a state machine of possible transitions between segments.
