Add ISO20022 write support #59

Open andrewshadura opened 7 years ago

andrewshadura commented 7 years ago

ISO20022, being a standard, is often the only format accepted by accounting software. Being able to generate ISO20022 would be a huge benefit, making it possible to use ofxstatement to convert from legacy formats.

I have implemented proof-of-concept ISO20022 writer, see my iso20022 branch. There are no changes to the UI, so the only way to test it at the moment is to replace OfxWriter with it.

@andrewshadura, this looks iteresting. I think ofxstatement can support this output format, but I'm not sure the internal model (Statement and friends) are sufficient to generate a valid ISO-20022 markup (it was never intended for that).

What is your actual use case for this?

My use case is converting non-standard legacy statement files my bank provides into a standard interchange format. ISO20022 has been accepted as a format to be used within SEPA zone, so I expect its usage to grow. In particular, my accountant said, not sure how true that is, my bank is the only bank in the country which doesn't support ISO20022 yet. And most accounting software supports it too.

-- Cheers, Andrew
