The ACORD AL3 library implements the AL3 messaging standard used in the insurance industry. AL3 is maintained by the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (ACORD), a nonprofit insurance association. AL3 messages handle the transmission of insurance information such as policies and claims. For more information, see http://www.acord.org/standards/al3.aspx.

The ACORD AL3 library transformations do not validate their input. If the input is invalid, the transformations might fail or they might generate unexpected output.
