E-Invoice Reader: XRechnung, ZUGFeRD & Factur-X to JSON

Paste links to electronic invoices. You get one clean JSON record per invoice, the same shape whatever the format:

• Formats: XRechnung (UBL 2.1 and UN/CEFACT CII), ZUGFeRD 2.x, Factur-X (the XML inside the PDF/A-3 is read), ZUGFeRD 1.0, PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 and other EN 16931 UBL invoices
• Fields: profile, invoice number, type (invoice, credit note, corrected invoice...), issue / due / delivery dates, currency, buyer reference (Leitweg-ID), order reference, seller and buyer (name, VAT id, tax number, address, email), totals, tax per rate, line items, IBAN / BIC / payment reference and terms, notes
• Checks: line amounts vs line total, net = lines - allowances + charges, tax per rate, gross = net + tax, amount due, required fields. Each check says what it compared.

Germany requires every business to be able to receive e-invoices since 2025, and issuing becomes mandatory step by step through 2028. France follows from 2026. This tool turns those files into data your bookkeeping, n8n, Make or Zapier flow can use.

Limits

• The checks are arithmetic and presence checks. They are not a full EN 16931 / XRechnung Schematron validation; use the official validator when you need legal conformance.
• Plain PDF invoices without embedded XML are not read. For those, use PDF & Image to Text and PDF Tables to CSV & JSON from the same developer.
• Italian FatturaPA and pre-2014 ZUGFeRD drafts are reported as unsupported.
• XML is parsed with external entities and network access disabled.

Support

Open an issue on the Issues tab with a sample file (remove personal data) and the run ID.
