drafthorse 1.0.0

Python ZUGFeRD XML implementation

This is a low-level python implementation of the ZUGFeRD XML format. ZUGFeRD is a German format for sending digital invoices. ZUGFeRD XML files are to be attached to a PDF file. This library can be used to generate or parse the contents of this XML file as well as attach it to a PDF. We do not support parsing PDF files (for now).

By low-level, we mean that this library models the ZUGFeRD data model 1:1 without any further abstractions or simplifications. You can set and parse all parameters defined in ZUGFeRD 1.0.

All output is validated against the official XSDs, but no validation of profile levels (basic, comfort, extended) is performed.

Usage

Parsing:

>>> from drafthorse.models.document import Document
>>> samplexml = open("sample.xml", "rb").read()
>>> doc = Document.parse(samplexml)
>>> str(doc.trade.agreement.seller.name)
'Lieferant GmbH'

Generating:

>>> from datetime import date
>>> from drafthorse.models.document import Document
>>> from drafthorse.models.note import IncludedNote

>>> doc = Document()
>>> doc.context.guideline_parameter.id = "urn:ferd:CrossIndustryDocument:invoice:1p0:comfort"
>>> doc.header.id = "RE1337"
>>> doc.header.name = "RECHNUNG"
>>> doc.header.type_code = "380"
>>> doc.header.issue_date_time.value = date.today()
>>> doc.header.languages.add("de")
>>> note = IncludedNote()
>>> note.content.add("Test Node 1")
>>> doc.header.notes.add(n)
>>> doc.trade.agreement.seller.name = "Lieferant GmbH"

>>> xml = doc.serialize()
>>> xml
b'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rsm:CrossIndustryDocument …'

>>> new_pdf_bytes = attach_xml(original_pdf_bytes, xml, 'BASIC')
