Generate IFTMBF classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C

The OpenEDI file describes each IFTMBF as JSON. To work with IFTMBF data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSIFTMBF. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
