Altova MapForce® 2010 is an award-winning any-to-any graphical data mapping, conversion, and integration tool that maps data between any combination of XML, database, flat file, EDI, Excel 2007+, XBRL, and/or Web service, then transforms data instantly or autogenerates royalty-free data integration code for the execution of recurrent conversions.

To use MapForce, simply open data sources and targets as mapping components, drop in data processing functions from the customizable libraries, and then drag connecting lines between the nodes you wish to associate. Mapping output is created in real-time. For XML and database mappings you can even view and save the XSLT 1.0/2.0 or XQuery execution code. Or, with just a click of the mouse, you can choose between Java, C++, or C# to automatically generate a turnkey application from your design. This way, you can implement data integration and Web services applications without writing any code. MapForce-generated code is royalty-free, so you may deploy it without additional fees or deployment adaptors. Features and functionality in the MapForce data mapping tool include:
