  "summary": "One API for EU and international invoice formats: generate and validate Peppol BIS, XRechnung (DE), Factur-X/BR-FR (FR), RO_CIUS (RO), FatturaPA (IT), Facturae (ES), FA_VAT/KSeF (PL), EHF (NO), NLCIUS (NL) and PINT Billing EU (international, OpenPeppol) from a single key - 9 national/international formats plus pan-EU Peppol. Convert and render ship today on the shared EN 16931/CII core (Peppol BIS, XRechnung, Factur-X, RO_CIUS); render for FatturaPA, Facturae and KSeF is next (convert does not apply to these three national terminal formats by design), and convert/render for EHF, NLCIUS and PINT Billing EU (added 2026-08-15) are next too - those three currently ship generate + validate only. Plus a small utility API portfolio (PDF, screenshot, email validation, content extraction). Not a transmission pipe or Peppol Access Point.",

    "note": "convert and render run on the shared EN 16931/CII engine (Peppol/UBL, XRechnung, Factur-X, RO_CIUS). FatturaPA, Facturae and FA_VAT/KSeF have their own schema: generate + validate (XSD-structural pre-flight) are live today, render support is next (roadmap), and convert does not apply - these are national terminal formats (filed only through SDI/FACe/KSeF) and are not meant to convert to or from UBL/CII. EHF (Norway), NLCIUS (Netherlands) and PINT Billing EU (international, OpenPeppol) were added 2026-08-15: generate + validate are live and tested; convert/render are not yet implemented/tested for these three profiles (roadmap). EHF is officially identical to Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (no own rules, per Digdir/anskaffelser.dev 2025-10-17)."
