## Use cases

Below you will find typical use cases for X12 integrations and how they are implemented in Frends.

### Parse X12 Json string

By using the [`X12 ConvertToJson`](https://docs.frends.com/tasks/tasks/x12/converttojson) task, we can create an integration that receives incoming X12 messages, validates them, and saves the data into Json.

### Create X12 documents from Json

By using the [`X12 CreateFromJson`](https://docs.frends.com/tasks/tasks/x12/createfromjson) task, we can create an integration that generates new X12 documents based on predefined Jsons.
