Welcome

Welcome to the technical documentation of the MSSL EBT System Data Message Model and Interface Definitions class library, a library of strongly typed classes that participate in the XML serialisation/deserialisation of transaction messages received from or submitted to the EBT system, and in the reading of data files received from the EBT system.

💡 What is This Class Library?
