StUF Support

The StUF (Standaard Uitwisseling Formaat) support feature provides compatibility with the legacy Dutch government data exchange standard.

Overview​

StUF is a SOAP/XML-based standard historically used for data exchange between Dutch government systems. While being phased out in favor of REST-based APIs, many legacy systems still use StUF.

Planned Features​

  • StUF-ZKN -- Support for the StUF Zaken (case management) message format.
  • StUF-BG -- Support for the StUF Basisgegevens (base data) message format.
  • Message translation -- Translate between StUF XML messages and OpenRegister's JSON objects.
  • Endpoint provisioning -- Expose StUF SOAP endpoints for legacy system integration.
  • Message logging -- Log all StUF messages for audit and debugging.
  • Error handling -- Proper StUF error responses (Fo/Fout messages).
  • Asynchronous processing -- Support for asynchronous StUF message patterns.

Migration Path​

StUF support is intended as a bridge technology, enabling organizations to connect legacy systems while migrating to modern ZGW APIs. The ZGW API mapping feature provides the forward-looking integration path.

Status​

This feature is defined in the spec at openspec/specs/stuf-support/spec.md and is planned for future implementation.
