Stop guessing what the payload should look like
TradeCentric’s gold-standard framework gives your team a clear reference for JSON, cXML, and EDI, so you spend less time decoding requirements and more time building.

Most technical teams are not blocked on choosing JSON, cXML, or EDI. They are blocked on the details: required fields, expected values, and how the buyer’s system interprets the data. That is where delays start.
Ambiguous requirements
The buyer says “standard cXML.” Your team asks what that means. Nobody agrees.
Late-stage surprises
Payload mismatches that surface during testing add weeks of rework.
No reference point
Generic specs don’t account for how real buyer-supplier environments behave.
What the framework includes
Built from 15+ years of production deployments, the framework covers the payload structures and field-level considerations TradeCentric uses to start integration planning. It’s format-specific, implementation-informed and designed to give your team something concrete to build to.
- Payload reference guidance for JSON, cXML and EDI transaction types
- Field-level context informed by real buyer-supplier requirements
- Payload examples grounded in best practices, with room for use-case-specific variations
- Documentation that reflects how integrations actually get built — not just how standards read on paper
The framework won’t configure itself. That’s where we come in.
Every buyer’s environment is different. Field requirements, accepted values and system behavior vary, sometimes significantly. TradeCentric’s team has seen enough of those edge cases to know where the standard breaks down and what it takes to get an integration live in a specific environment.
