## About Parse-Edi
This parser is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) parser developed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as such for now it will only parse 835 and 837 documents given a configuration.
This code is intended to process and parse healthcare x12 837 (claims) and x12 835 (remittances) into human readable JSON format.
The claims/outpout can be forwarded to a NoSQL Data store like couchdb and mongodb
## Installation
pip install git+https://hiplab.mc.vanderbilt.edu/git/steve/parse-edi.git

## Usage
**Commandline :**
python edi --config <path> --folder <path> --store <[mongo|disk|couch]> --<db|path]> <id|path>
with :
--scope <claims|remits>
--config path of the x12 to be parsed i.e it could be 835, or 837
--folder location of the files (they must be decompressed)
--store data store could be disk, mongodb, couchdb
--db|path name of the folder to store the output or the database name
**Embedded in Code :**
Use parse-edi within your code base as a library
import edi.parser
import json
import os
ROOT = 'data'
CLAIMS_FOLDER = os.sep.join([ROOT,'837'])
CONFIG_FOLDER = os.sep.join([ROOT,'config'])
files = os.listdir(CLAIMS_FOLDER)
filename = os.sep.join([ROOT,files[0]]) #-- selecting the first file in the folder (it's an example)
conf = json.loads(open( os.sep.join([CONFIG_FOLDER,'837.json']) ).read())
info = edi.parser.get_content(file,conf) #-- array of objects claims/remits
