Abstract
Systems, methods and devices are provided for transforming data from an input format to an output format on a computing device including an electronic circuit. The methods include receiving, by the electronic circuit, from an input device, an input data record including data in the input format, transforming the data into an output data record format, and outputting an output data record. Additionally, the components of the input data record may be determined using a positional input interface definition including a sample record comprising a input key in each position. Each component is matched to the input key for its position. Components are matched to corresponding components of each position of the output data record, using a positional output interface definition, with the output interface definition including an output key for each record position.
