XML-First API Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"
	"strings"

	"github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/CustomerCreditTransfer"
)

func main() {
	// Reading XML from file
	file, err := os.Open("payment.xml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer file.Close()

	var message CustomerCreditTransfer.MessageModel
	if err := message.ReadXML(file); err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to read XML:", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Message ID: %s\n", message.MessageId)
	fmt.Printf("Created: %s\n", message.CreatedDateTime.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))

	// Writing XML to file with specific version
	outFile, err := os.Create("output.xml")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer outFile.Close()

	if err := message.WriteXML(outFile, CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_10); err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to write XML:", err)
	}

	// Parsing XML from bytes
	xmlData := []byte(`<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.08">
		<FIToFICstmrCdtTrf>
			<GrpHdr>
				<MsgId>MSG001</MsgId>
				<CreDtTm>2025-01-15T10:00:00</CreDtTm>
				<NbOfTxs>1</NbOfTxs>
			</GrpHdr>
		</FIToFICstmrCdtTrf>
	</Document>`)

	msg, err := CustomerCreditTransfer.ParseXML(xmlData)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to parse XML:", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Parsed Message ID: %s\n", msg.MessageId)

	// Writing to any io.Writer (e.g., strings.Builder)
	var buf strings.Builder
	if err := msg.WriteXML(&buf); err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to write XML:", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Generated XML (%d bytes)\n", len(buf.String()))
}

Core XML API Methods

Every message type provides these idiomatic Go methods:

// ReadXML reads XML data from any io.Reader into the MessageModel
func (m *MessageModel) ReadXML(r io.Reader) error

// WriteXML writes the MessageModel as XML to any io.Writer
// If no version is specified, uses the latest version
func (m *MessageModel) WriteXML(w io.Writer, version ...VERSION) error

// ParseXML reads XML data directly from bytes
func ParseXML(data []byte) (*MessageModel, error)

// DocumentWith creates a versioned ISO 20022 document
func DocumentWith(model MessageModel, version VERSION) (models.ISODocument, error)

// NewMessageForVersion creates a MessageModel with version-specific fields initialized
func NewMessageForVersion(version VERSION) MessageModel

// ValidateForVersion performs type-safe validation for a specific version
func (m MessageModel) ValidateForVersion(version VERSION) error

// GetVersionCapabilities returns which version-specific features are available
func (m MessageModel) GetVersionCapabilities() map[string]bool

Available Message Types

// Import message types for XML processing
import (
	"github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/CustomerCreditTransfer"
	"github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/PaymentReturn"
	"github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/AccountReportingRequest"
	"github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/DrawdownRequest"
	// ... other message types
)

// All message types support the same XML API:
var msg CustomerCreditTransfer.MessageModel
var payment PaymentReturn.MessageModel
var request AccountReportingRequest.MessageModel

// ReadXML, WriteXML, ParseXML available on all types
msg.ReadXML(reader)
payment.WriteXML(writer)
parsed, err := DrawdownRequest.ParseXML(xmlData)

processor := messages.NewCustomerCreditTransfer()

// Use different message versions
versions := []CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_VERSION{
	CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_08,
	CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_09,
	CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_10,
}

for _, version := range versions {
	xml, err := processor.CreateDocument(jsonData, version)
	// Handle each version...
}

Error Handling

processor := messages.NewActivityReport()

err := processor.ValidateDocument(invalidJSON, version)
if err != nil {
	// Enhanced error messages include message type context
	fmt.Printf("ActivityReport validation failed: %v\n", err)
	
	// Errors support Go 1.13+ unwrapping
	var validationErr *errors.ValidationError
	if errors.As(err, &validationErr) {
		fmt.Printf("Field: %s, Issue: %s\n", validationErr.Field, validationErr.Message)
	}
}

Field Documentation

processor := messages.NewAccountReportingRequest()

// Get comprehensive field documentation
helpJSON, err := processor.GetHelp()
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Parse the help JSON to display field information
var help map[string]interface{}
json.Unmarshal([]byte(helpJSON), &help)
fmt.Printf("Available fields: %+v\n", help)

Version Management and Advanced Usage

import "github.com/moov-io/wire20022/pkg/models/CustomerCreditTransfer"

func advancedExample() {
    // Use specific versions when writing XML

            continue
        }
        fmt.Printf("Generated XML for version %s (%d bytes)\n", version, len(buf.String()))
    }
    
    // Create message with version-specific fields
    message := CustomerCreditTransfer.NewMessageForVersion(CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_12)
    
    // Validate for specific version
    if err := message.ValidateForVersion(CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_12); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Validation failed: %v", err)
    }
    
    // Check version capabilities
    capabilities := message.GetVersionCapabilities()

    // Create ISO document for further processing
    doc, err := CustomerCreditTransfer.DocumentWith(message, CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_12)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Failed to create document:", err)
    }
    
    // Document can be marshaled to XML using standard library
    xmlBytes, err := xml.MarshalIndent(doc, "", "  ")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Failed to marshal document:", err)
    }

XML-First Message Type Architecture

All message types follow a consistent XML-first architecture:

File Structure:

Message.go - MessageModel with ReadXML(), WriteXML(), ParseXML() methods
MessageHelper.go - Helper functions for message creation and validation
Message_test.go - Comprehensive test suite using sample XML files
map.go - XML to Go struct field mapping configuration
swiftSample/ - Authoritative XML sample files for validation and testing
version.go - Version constants and namespace definitions

Core Features:

XML-first API - Primary methods use io.Reader/io.Writer interfaces
Base abstractions - Common functionality (MessageHeader, PaymentCore, AgentPair)
Type-safe generics - Compile-time safety for XML processing
Version management - Support for multiple message versions with defaults
Factory patterns - Clean document creation and namespace handling
Embedded structs - Zero-cost composition eliminating code duplication

🔍 Advanced Usage

WriteXML vs DocumentWith

The library provides two methods for XML generation, each serving different use cases:

WriteXML (Recommended for Most Use Cases)

// WriteXML is the primary method for XML serialization
// Use this for standard XML output to files, network connections, or buffers

file, _ := os.Create("payment.xml")
defer file.Close()
err := model.WriteXML(file, CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_10)

// Features:
// - Writes complete XML with declaration
// - Handles formatting and indentation
// - Validates before writing
// - Direct output to any io.Writer

DocumentWith (Advanced Use Cases)

// DocumentWith creates a document structure for inspection/modification
// Use this when you need programmatic access to the document before serialization

doc, _ := CustomerCreditTransfer.DocumentWith(model, CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_10)

// Use cases:
// - Inspect document structure before serialization
// - Integrate with other XML libraries
// - Custom validation at document level
// - Modify document before final output

// You can then marshal it yourself:
xmlBytes, _ := xml.MarshalIndent(doc, "", "  ")

When to use which:

WriteXML: 95% of use cases - direct XML file/stream generation
DocumentWith: Advanced scenarios requiring document manipulation

Error Handling

wire20022 implements idiomatic Go error handling with detailed error types:

// Reading XML with error handling
var message CustomerCreditTransfer.MessageModel
if err := message.ReadXML(reader); err != nil {
    // Handle specific error types
    var parseErr *errors.ParseError
    var validationErr *errors.ValidationError
    
    if errors.As(err, &parseErr) {
        fmt.Printf("Parse error in %s: %v\n", parseErr.Field, parseErr.Err)
    } else if errors.As(err, &validationErr) {
        fmt.Printf("Validation failed for %s: %s\n", validationErr.Field, validationErr.Reason)
    }
}

// Parsing XML with error handling
message, err := CustomerCreditTransfer.ParseXML(invalidXML)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Failed to parse XML: %v\n", err)
    return
}

// Writing XML with error handling
var buf strings.Builder
if err := message.WriteXML(&buf); err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Failed to write XML: %v\n", err)
    return
}

Version-Specific Processing

// Handle different message versions when writing XML
var message CustomerCreditTransfer.MessageModel

versions := []CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_VERSION{
    CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_08,
    CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_09,
    CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_10,
    CustomerCreditTransfer.PACS_008_001_12, // Latest
}

for _, version := range versions {
    var buf strings.Builder
    if err := message.WriteXML(&buf, version); err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Failed to write version %s: %v\n", version, err)
        continue // Try next version
    }
    
    fmt.Printf("Successfully created XML with version %s (%d bytes)\n", version, len(buf.String()))
    
    // Create ISO document for advanced processing
    document, err := CustomerCreditTransfer.DocumentWith(message, version)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Failed to create document: %v\n", err)
        continue
    }
    
    fmt.Printf("Document created successfully for version %s\n", version)
    break
}

Field Mapping and Debugging

For debugging XML field mapping issues, consult XML_TO_GO_MAPPING.md:

// Understanding error paths
// XML: <CdtrPmtActvtnReq><GrpHdr><MsgId>
// Go:  CdtrPmtActvtnReq.GrpHdr.MsgId
// Error: "field copy CdtrPmtActvtnReq.GrpHdr.MsgId failed: ..."
