Why I Built an Elixir ISO 20022 Parser (And why I hate banking standards)

I spent the last few months building an ISO 20022 parser in Elixir after dealing with banking integrations professionally and repeatedly running into the same problems:

  • gigantic XML schemas

  • painful tooling

  • inconsistent message variants

  • weak library support outside Java ecosystems

Ended up exporting some of that work and cleaning it up to start a full elixir library as a good excuse to learn more about elixir. Would be interested in what people think and if anyone else (god forbid) has use for this

Good example on parsing XML in Elixir. Might use this as reference in the future.

I second it. I did a brief review of the source, and everything is clear and straightforward. Bookmarked!
