ABSTRACT:
A method and system for converting ACORD XML files to and from ACORD AL3 files in real-time. The method for converting from ACORD XML to ACORD AL3 format includes: applying a stylesheet to at least one ACORD XML file thereby generating at least one data record in an intermediate format and including information included in the at least one ACORD XML file; and, translating the at least one record in the intermediate format to ACORD AL3 format. The method for converting from ACORD AL3 files to ACORD XML files includes: translating at least one record including information stored in the ACORD AL3 file format to an intermediate format; and, applying a stylesheet to the at least one record in the intermediate format thereby generating at least one ACORD XML file being indicative of the information and suitable for transmission.
