About the XML Invoice Generator
An XML invoice is what you need when an invoice has to move between systems rather than between people: an import into an ERP, a feed to a customer’s procurement platform, an archive that software has to search. Which XML depends on who reads it.
This produces three. Plain invoice XML is a simple, readable structure — header, seller, buyer, lines and totals — for your own integrations, where a standard would be overkill. UBL 2.1 is the OASIS standard used by Peppol and most e-invoicing networks. CII is the UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice inside Factur-X and ZUGFeRD. All three are written live from the same invoice form, so they always agree.
The standard formats are checked against the EN 16931 business rules as you type. The file is built in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
There is no single one. For e-invoicing to businesses or governments it is UBL or CII under EN 16931. For your own integration, a plain XML that mirrors your data is usually easier to map.
No, deliberately. It is a readable structure with obvious element names for internal use and imports. Use UBL or CII when the receiver expects a standard.
Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes are escaped, and the file is declared and written as UTF-8, so accented names and currency symbols survive.
Yes — the E-Invoice Converter reads plain XML, UBL and CII back into a printable invoice.
