Modeling different data formats

You can use IBM® Integration Bus to create message models for a range of data formats.

About this task

Most message formats are not self-defining, and a parser must have access to a predefined model that describes the message, if it is to parse the message correctly. Even if your messages are self-defining, and do not require modeling, message modeling has advantages. For a full description of the advantages of using message models, see Why model messages?.

The topics in this section describe how to create a message model for different data formats by using IBM Integration Bus.
