What is a .xml file?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a verbose, self-describing markup language using nested tags, attributes, and namespaces to represent structured, hierarchical data. It supports schemas, entities, and validation and underlies many document and data formats. It remains common in enterprise, publishing, and interchange contexts.

How to use this file

Use an example XML file to test parsers, namespace and schema validation, XPath queries, and protection against entity-expansion and external-entity attacks.

How to use this file for testing

“Alder Table Bistro: UBL 2.1 invoice XML” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import, Conversion testing, Schema validation. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: UTF-8 · LF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.

Code examples

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("invoice-ubl.xml")
root = tree.getroot()
print(root.tag, [c.tag for c in root][:5])
