rust_iso20022

A Rust library for ISO 20022 (MX / SWIFT) financial messages, generated from the official iso20022.org XSD schemas. It provides a strongly-typed model for MX messages with XML and JSON parsing/serialization, message identification, a generic message tree for reading any message without the model, and business metadata extraction.

Installation

Add it with cargo (enable only the features you need — see Features):

cargo add rust_iso20022                                  # core: identify, MxNode, catalogue
cargo add rust_iso20022 --features model-pacs            # + the typed pacs model
cargo add rust_iso20022 --features model-pacs,serde,convert

or in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
# Core only (identification, generic tree, catalogue) — no model compiled.
rust_iso20022 = "0.1"

# Or pull in one or more typed message families plus JSON and typed scalars:
rust_iso20022 = { version = "0.1", features = ["model-pacs", "serde", "convert"] }

Enabling the umbrella model feature compiles all ~1130 message modules and is slow; prefer the per-area model-<area> features for the families you actually use.

Minimal first program — no features required:

use rust_iso20022::{detect, MxNode};

fn main() {
    let xml = r#"<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.08">
      <FIToFICstmrCdtTrf><GrpHdr><MsgId>ABC-1</MsgId></GrpHdr></FIToFICstmrCdtTrf>
    </Document>"#;

    let id = detect(xml).expect("recognised");
    println!("type = {}", id.message_name());            // pacs.008.001.08

    let doc = MxNode::parse(xml).unwrap();
    println!("MsgId = {:?}", doc.find("MsgId").and_then(|n| n.text())); // Some("ABC-1")
}

What's in the crate

Coverage: a typed model is generated for 1130 message versions across 32 business areas (acmt, admi, auth, caaa, caad, caam, cafc, cafm, cafr, cain, camt, canm, casp, casr, catm, catp, colr, fxtr, head, pacs, pain, reda, remt, secl, seev, semt, sese, setr, tsin, tsmt, tsrv, trck). This is the current iso20022.org catalogue (latest versions) plus the earlier versions, so older in-circulation messages still parse.

The generated types derive yaserde for XML and (with the serde feature) serde::{Serialize, Deserialize} for JSON.

Capabilities

Quick start

Identify a message and read its metadata — no model feature needed:

use rust_iso20022::{detect, BusinessArea, MxNode};

let xml = r#"<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.08">
  <FIToFICstmrCdtTrf><GrpHdr><MsgId>ABC-1</MsgId></GrpHdr>
    <CdtTrfTxInf><IntrBkSttlmAmt Ccy="EUR">1234.56</IntrBkSttlmAmt></CdtTrfTxInf>
  </FIToFICstmrCdtTrf></Document>"#;

let id = detect(xml).unwrap();
assert_eq!(id.message_name(), "pacs.008.001.08");
assert_eq!(id.business_area, BusinessArea::pacs);

// Read fields from the generic tree without the typed model:
let doc = MxNode::parse(xml).unwrap();
assert_eq!(doc.find("MsgId").and_then(|n| n.text()), Some("ABC-1"));
let amt = doc.find("IntrBkSttlmAmt").unwrap();
assert_eq!((amt.text(), amt.attr("Ccy")), (Some("1234.56"), Some("EUR")));

Typed parse / serialize (enable the area's model, e.g. cargo add rust_iso20022 -F model-pacs):

use rust_iso20022::generated::pacs::pacs_008_001_08::Document;

let doc: Document = rust_iso20022::from_xml(&xml)?;
let back: String = rust_iso20022::to_xml(&doc)?;

See the runnable examples:

cargo run --example inspect_message                                   # no features
cargo run --example typed_payment --features model-pacs,serde,convert # typed

Features

The core (MxId, BusinessArea, MxNode, detect) and the catalogue are always available. The XSD → Rust generator is a separate, unpublished workspace crate (tools/codegen), so the published crate has no git dependencies.

Command-line tool

cargo run --features cli --bin iso20022 -- pacs.008   # all pacs.008 versions
# or after `cargo install rust_iso20022 --features cli`:
iso20022 camt          # every message in the camt business area
iso20022               # the whole catalogue

Regenerating the model

The model and catalogue are produced from the XSD schemas in xsds/ by the codegen tool:

cargo run -p rust_iso20022_codegen -- --input xsds --output src/generated

To (re)download schemas, the catalogue feature provides a Fetcher. The authoritative source is iso20022.org; its static schema path (/sites/default/files/documents/messages/<area>/schemas/<name>.xsd) is the reliable programmatic download path (Fetcher::download_schema).

Design notes

• Scalars are String — lossless (exact text, no float rounding, ideal for money) and keeps XML and JSON in sync. Convert on demand with the convert feature.
• Choices are modelled as a struct of Option<…> fields (the same shape JAXB uses), so an amount inside a <xsd:choice> round-trips with its Ccy attribute and unset choices are simply omitted.
• JSON uses the ISO 20022 element names (MsgId, IBAN, …); to_json / from_json round-trip.
• A value that is not a known member of a coded enumeration parses to an __Unknown__(String) fallback (surfaces only for invalid input).
• XML round-tripping preserves the data model, not byte-for-byte formatting.
