Hi
EDI - maintaining config& condition record set up in ERP to transmit any messages to the external parties..
XI - interface schema set up enabling above message as well to sent out to external parties ,if you want to set up any validations rules would be possible here.
Hope this clarifies your query.

Hi,
XI is nothing but a Middleware which is used for connecting non sap systems and sap systems using which data transfer could be achieved. The format of the sender system and the receiver system could be different in which case XI converts the data from one format to the other.

"EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."
The business data is saved in IDoc format in the IDoc Interface and is forwarded as IDocs. If an error occurs, exception handling is triggered using SAP tasks. The agents who are responsible for these tasks and have the relevant authorizations are defined in the IDoc Interface.
Features
The IDoc Interface supports three types of data flow with the external system:
· Outbound processing
IDocs are transferred to a receiving system from your SAP System.
· Inbound processing
IDocs are transferred to your SAP System from an upstream system.
· Status processing
XI
SAP XI is based on general standards so as to enable external systems to be integrated. At the center of the infrastructure is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). The application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML (eXtensible Markup Language) schema from the sender to the receiver using the Integration Server.

● Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow
● Runtime for message and process management
● Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components
● Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes
