XMap
XMap is a cutting-edge tool designed to simplify the process of transforming messages between XML and JSON formats. Whether you’re a developer, system integrator, or IT professional, XMap provides a comprehensive solution that supports the entire lifecycle of message transformation.
Integration
In today’s digital world, businesses rely on many different systems and applications. Integration creates the necessary connections between these systems, allowing them to exchange information efficiently. However, a challenge arises when systems don’t speak the same “language.” For example, one system might use XML to structure its data, while another relies on JSON or a custom format. Despite being connected, the systems still can’t understand each other directly — this is where message transformation comes in.
Message Transformation
Message transformation is the process of converting data from one format or structure to another, enabling systems to communicate effectively despite their differences. For example, one system might send a “Customer ID” as a number, while another system expects a string labeled “Client Identifier.” Message transformation ensures that the first system’s message is translated into a form the second system can understand.
This is essential in any integration, as it allows each system to maintain its unique structure while still participating in a larger, interconnected network.
Challenges
While the concept may seem straightforward, message transformation in practice can be complex. It requires:
- Technical expertise to describe how data should be mapped, converted, or reformatted to fit the target system’s requirements.
- Knowledge of both systems, including their data structures and how they handle information.
- Out of sync implementation and documentation

How can XMap help your organization?
1
Shift left
Start you mapping from ideation stage (for example by a business analyst) in the same portal from where a developer will pick you any remaining field mapping
2
Decouple integrations from transformations
Decouple your transformations from your integration solutions. This promotes reusability and faster time to value for any updates
3
Latest documentation
Your mapping documents are always latest and reflect your implementation.
