Optional Schematron validation against the EN 16931 business rules.

The EN 16931 Schematron compiles to XSLT 2.0, which the BEAM cannot run. Like the Python akretion/factur-x library, we delegate to a Saxon server over HTTP (req — declared optional so non-validating callers don't pull an HTTP client). The compiled schematron XSLT ships in priv/schematron/.

Run a Saxon server (e.g. ghcr.io/willemvlh/saxon-server, port 5000) and point :endpoint at its /transform route. The transform is sent the XML and the XSLT as a multipart/form-data body and returns an SVRL report, which we interpret into failed-assert / successful-report violations.

Privacy: a public Saxon endpoint means sending real invoice data to a third party. Self-host the Saxon server in production.

{:ok, :valid} = Facturx.validate(xml, profile: :en16931,
                                 endpoint: "http://localhost:5000/transform")

Only the :en16931 schematron ships today; other profiles return {:error, {:schematron_not_bundled, profile}}.

@spec validate(
  binary(),
  keyword()
) :: {:ok, :valid} | {:error, {:invalid, [violation()]}} | {:error, term()}

Validate xml against the EN 16931 Schematron via a Saxon endpoint.

Options:

  • :endpoint — Saxon /transform URL (defaults to the app env config :facturx, Facturx.Validate, endpoint: ..., then "http://localhost:5000/transform")
  • :profile — schematron level (defaults to the profile detected in the XML)
  • :codedb_url — override the code-list DB URL the XSLT resolves
  • :receive_timeout — HTTP receive timeout (ms), default 20_000
