Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for protocol mapping. According to an embodiment of the application, the protocol mapping is based on a non-compiled editable file (e.g. XML file) that describes the protocol mapping. Therefore, the protocol mapping can be updated by updating the non-compiled editable file without updating any compiled software. This allows the protocol mapping to be updated to reflect any changes to communication protocols that may occur without having to update any compiled software. Difficulties traditionally associated with updating protocol mappings can be avoided by not having to update compiled software.
