Components

GOBL is three things in one:

• a Go SDK, CLI tool, and microservice used to build and validate business documents in JSON,
• a repository of global taxes and validation rules defined in code and output into JSON, and,
• a JSON Schema for easy creation and sharing of GOBL data.

The base component of GOBL is an Envelope. This acts as a wrapper around a Document with the actual payload to be read and used.

All structures in GOBL are provided with their JSON Schema definitions generated from the structures in Go.

JSON Schemas allows us to easily generate structures and definitions of GOBL in other languages, so we also currently support:

• gobl.ruby - read GOBL generated files in formal Ruby classes.
