What the library returns

The full error returned by @attestwire/en16931. It includes the rule ID, affected field and suggested correction. Developers can use this object in their application:

{
  "rule": "BR-10",
  "field": "BG-8",
  "severity": "fatal",
  "message": "An invoice must contain the buyer postal address (BG-8). For cross-border supplies it is what distinguishes a domestic sale from a reverse-charge or intra-community one.",
  "fix": "Set buyer.address with at least city, postalCode and countryCode.",
  "example": "\"address\": { \"city\": \"Wien\", \"postalCode\": \"1010\", \"countryCode\": \"AT\" }",
  "xpath": "/ubl:Invoice/cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress",
  "docsUrl": "https://attestwire.com/rules/BR-10"
}

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the matching CII field instead.
