Abstract
A system allows exchange of information by converting it to/from proprietary formats from/to XML. An XML import tool may be used to import data from an XML file into a target repository by receiving user input for selecting data structures within the target repository, for selecting set of fields that belong to the selected set of data structures, and for mapping fields in the selected set of fields to tags associated with data within the XML file. A set of commands is generated based on the user inputs for populating the one or more fields that are mapped to tags with the data in the XML file. The set of commands cause the one or more fields that are mapped to tags to be populated with the data in the XML file.
