Golang Project Idea: Go EDIFACT

It's been sometime since I've written anything on this blog. A few weeks back I realized that my syntax highlighting brush for golang wasn't available online anymore and so I decided to put it on Github.

Anyway, I've been thinking about what I could do to improve my understanding of the Go programming language.  Earlier today it dawned on me that since I've been working a lot with EDIFACT messages, why not a Go package for handling EDIFACT messages?

So, what do I want to make? I haven't really seen an EDIFACT grammar parser that takes an XML file that defines the grammar and converts a valid EDIFACT message into a Go data structure. Conversely, it should allow the user to fill the Go data structure and generates the corresponding EDIFACT message from it.

Okay, it's time to hack.  I'll post updates on this project later.  Cheers!
