Built-in arbitrary precision arithmetic: ```typescript // Perfect financial calculations every time const calculator = new DecimalCurrencyCalculator('EUR'); const result = calculator.calculateLineNet( '3.14159', // Quantity '999.99', // Unit price '0' // Discount (optional) ); // Result: 3141.56 (correctly rounded for EUR) ``` ### ๐Ÿ” Multi-Level Validation ```typescript // Three-layer validation with detailed diagnostics const syntaxResult = await invoice.validate(ValidationLevel.SYNTAX); const semanticResult = await invoice.validate(ValidationLevel.SEMANTIC); const businessResult = await invoice.validate(ValidationLevel.BUSINESS); // Get specific rule violations businessResult.errors.forEach(error => { console.log(`Rule ${error.ruleId}: ${error.message}`); console.log(`Business Term: ${error.btReference}`); console.log(`Field: ${error.field}`); }); ``` ### ๐Ÿ”„ Format Detection & Conversion ```typescript // Automatic format detection const format = FormatDetector.detectFormat(xmlString); console.log(`Detected: ${format}`); // 'zugferd', 'facturx', 'xrechnung', etc. // Intelligent conversion preserves all data const zugferd = await EInvoice.fromFile('zugferd.xml'); const xrechnung = await zugferd.exportXml('xrechnung'); const backToZugferd = await EInvoice.fromXml(xrechnung); // All data preserved through round-trip! ``` ### ๐Ÿ“„ PDF Operations ```typescript // Extract XML from PDF invoices const extractor = new PDFExtractor(); const result = await extractor.extractXml(pdfBuffer); if (result.success) { console.log(`Found ${result.format} invoice`); const invoice = await EInvoice.fromXml(result.xml); } // Embed XML into PDF for hybrid invoices const embedder = new PDFEmbedder(); const pdfWithXml = await embedder.createPdfWithXml( existingPdf, xmlContent, 'factur-x.xml', 'Factur-X Invoice' ); ``` ## ๐ŸŒ Country-Specific Requirements ### ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช German XRechnung ```typescript invoice.metadata = { customizationId: 'urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:xeinkauf.de:kosit:xrechnung_3.0', extensions: { leitwegId: '991-12345-67', // Required routing ID buyerReference: 'DE-BUYER-REF', // Mandatory sellerContact: { name: 'Max Mustermann', phone: '+49 30 12345678', email: 'invoice@company.de' } } }; ``` ### ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ PEPPOL BIS 3.0 ```typescript invoice.metadata = { profileId: 'urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0', extensions: { endpointId: '0088:1234567890128', // GLN with checksum documentTypeId: 'urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2::Invoice##urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017', processId: 'urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0' } }; ``` ### ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท French Chorus Pro ```typescript invoice.metadata = { extensions: { siret: '12345678901234', serviceCode: 'SERVICE-2025', engagementNumber: 'ENG-123456', marketReference: 'MARKET-REF-001' } }; ``` ## โšก Performance Metrics Lightning-fast operations with minimal memory footprint: | Operation | Speed | Memory | |-----------|-------|--------| | **Format Detection** | ~0.1ms | Minimal | | **XML Parsing** | ~0.5ms | ~100KB | | **Full Validation** | ~2.2ms | ~136KB | | **Format Conversion** | ~0.6ms | ~150KB | | **PDF Extraction** | ~5ms | ~1MB | | **PDF Embedding** | ~10ms | ~2MB | ## ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Architecture ### Plugin-Based Design ```typescript // Factory pattern for extensibility DecoderFactory.getDecoder(format) โ†’ BaseDecoder EncoderFactory.getEncoder(format) โ†’ BaseEncoder ValidatorFactory.getValidator(format) โ†’ BaseValidator ``` ### Data Flow ``` Input (XML/PDF) โ†’ Format Detection โ†’ Decoder โ†’ EInvoice Model โ†“ Validation โ†“ Encoder โ†’ Output (XML/PDF) ``` ## ๐Ÿ”’ Security Features - **XXE Prevention**: External entities disabled by default - **Resource Limits**: Max 100MB XML, max 100 nesting levels - **Path Traversal Protection**: Sanitized filenames in PDFs - **SSRF Mitigation**: Entity blocking in XML processing - **Input Validation**: Comprehensive input sanitization ## ๐Ÿงช Testing ```bash # Run all tests pnpm test # Run specific test suites pnpm test test/test.peppol-validator.ts pnpm test test/test.facturx-validator.ts pnpm test test/test.semantic-model.ts # Run with verbose output pnpm test -- --verbose ``` ## ๐Ÿ“š Advanced Examples ### Batch Processing with Concurrency Control ```typescript import pLimit from 'p-limit'; const limit = pLimit(5); // Max 5 concurrent operations const files = ['invoice1.xml', 'invoice2.xml', /* ... */]; const results = await Promise.all( files.map(file => limit(async () => { const invoice = await EInvoice.fromFile(file); const validation = await invoice.validate(); return { file, valid: validation.valid }; }) ) ); ``` ### REST API Integration ```typescript app.post('/api/invoice/convert', async (req, res) => { try { const { xml, targetFormat } = req.body; const invoice = await EInvoice.fromXml(xml); // Validate before conversion const validation = await invoice.validate(); if (!validation.valid) { return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid invoice', violations: validation.errors }); } const converted = await invoice.exportXml(targetFormat); res.json({ success: true, xml: converted }); } catch (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: error.message }); } }); ``` ## ๐ŸŽฏ What Makes Us Different ### ๐Ÿ† 100% EN16931 Compliance - All 162 Business Terms implemented - All 32 Business Groups structured - Complete semantic model with BT/BG validation - Official Schematron rules integrated ### ๐Ÿ’Ž Production Excellence - **500+ test cases** ensuring reliability - **Battle-tested** with real-world invoice corpus - **Memory efficient** - handles 1000+ line items - **Thread-safe** for concurrent processing ### ๐Ÿš€ Developer Experience - **IntelliSense everywhere** - fully typed API - **Detailed error messages** with recovery hints - **Static factory methods** for intuitive usage - **Comprehensive documentation** with real examples ## ๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation Requirements - Node.js 18+ or modern browser - TypeScript 5.0+ (for TypeScript projects) - ~15MB installed size - Zero native dependencies ## ๐Ÿค Standards Compliance This library implements: - **EN 16931-1:2017** - Core invoice model - **CEN/TS 16931-3** - Syntax bindings - **ISO 4217** - Currency codes - **ISO 3166** - Country codes - **UN/ECE Rec 20** - Units of measure - **ISO 6523** - Organization identifiers ## License and Legal Information This repository contains open-source code that is licensed under the MIT License.
