Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided which solves the looping problem in structural documents, such as those defined by DOM, EDI and XML. The method and apparatus remove ambiguities by presenting a user with a hierarchical tree structure representation of the document allowing the user to select data grouping rules to be followed. The method and apparatus then automatically create a modified hierarchical tree structure based upon the user-defined rules. Rules can be input by the user using a rule table editor or by means of a graphical user interface.
