Python package using Pydantic models to generate FacturX-compliant documents
Requires Python: >=3.12
Keywords: factur-x, invoicing, EN16931, e-invoicing, xml

# PyFactX

**PyFactX** is a Python library that leverages [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/) models to generate fully
compliant [Factur-X](https://www.factur-x.org/) (EN 16931) e-invoices. This library generates a structured XML file,
suitable for machine processing, which can then be embedded in a hybrid PDF A/3 electronic invoice for full compliance
with the European e-invoicing standards.

---

## ✨ Features

- ✅ Full support for **EN 16931** compliant Factur-X invoices
- 📦 Clean and robust **Pydantic models** for structured invoice data
- 🧾 Generates **Factur-X-compliant XML** from Python dictionaries or Pydantic models
- 🇪🇺 Compatible with European e-invoicing standards
- 📄 Can be easily embedded into PDF invoices (e.g., via [facturelibre](https://github.com/vartur/facturelibre))

---

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install pyfactx
```

## ✅ Compliance

PyFactX aims for full compliance with the following:

* Factur-X **_MINIMUM_**, **_BASIC_WL_**, **_BASIC_** AND **_EN16931_** invoice profiles
* Schematron validation support
