I'm trying to create a JSON structure for EDI. Input file will be EDI. i need to retrieve the EDI values via JSON and generate an user defined XML/EDI.
I see a json to json mapping in the link: http://www.altova.com/mapforce/json-data-mapping.html
I don't need a mapping but i need to retrieve the EDI values and have the incoming EDI structure in JSON format.
Could someone please share your thoughts on the same?
Thanks in advance.

Stedi has an EDI translator which converts X12 EDI to and from JSON. There is also a mapper to further transform the shape of the JSON on either end. Disclosure: Stedi affiliated.

Mapping is the way I use with Altova Mapforce.
First of all you can construct a mapping from EDI to XML and vice versa. Then let Mapforce create the code for it e.g. in C Sharp.
Unfortunately a mapping from EDI to JSON in combination with the code generator is not supported in Mapforce. So we have to do a little side step.
You can use little helper tools like Newtonsofts JSON and convert the XML to a json array. This will allow you to work with object structures in combination with EDI.
In case you use the code generator from Mapforce the working order is like:
EDI - XML - JSON to generate your json from an edi document
JSON - XML - EDI to generate your json to an edi document
