The HAPI FHIR Validator API is a simple REST API in order to validate the structure and content of a FHIR object. The API uses the HAPI FHIR framework located at https://hapifhir.io/ in order to validate different all versions of FHIR objects. FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources which is a standard for data transmission within healthcare.

docker run --name hapi-fhir-validator-api -p 5000:5000 jtravan3/hapi-fhir-validator-api:latestAccess the API by visiting http://localhost:5000/swagger-ui/index.html. From there you can hit the endpoints directly.
1.) Install maven 3.6.0 and Java JDK 11. JDK located here or use the Maven wrapper that's a part of this repository.
brew install maven2.) Clone down the repository from Github
git clone git@github.com:jtravan3/hapi-fhir-validator-api.git3.) After populating the properties build the project
./mvnw clean install4.) Run the api.
./mvnw spring-boot:runThe project is configured with Spring dev tools which allows for hot reloads without restarting the application. Simply
rebuild the project after making a change (In IntelliJ use Build -> Build Project or CMD + F9) and the application will
auto re-deploy.
5.) Access the API by visiting http://localhost:5000/swagger-ui/index.html. From there you can hit the endpoints directly.
6.) Success!
1.) Install Docker located here.
2.) Clone down the repository from Github
git clone git@github.com:jtravan3/hapi-fhir-validator-api.git3.) Run the API
docker-compose up4.) Access the API by visiting http://localhost:5000/swagger-ui/index.html. From there you can hit the endpoints directly.
5.) Success!
1.) Access the API at http://localhost:5000/swagger-ui/index.html. You should see the following homepage.
2.) Once on the API, select the validation endpoint that you want to try out.
3.) Replace the {} with the FHIR JSON object that you want to validate and select your X-Validate-Ignore-Codesystem header value.
4.) Click Execute and then scroll down to see the response. If the response is successful you should see a JSON response of success

}If you want to relax the validation you can pass the header X-Validate-Ignore-Codesystem with a value of true to ignore
certain code systems and profiles. This will allow you to only validate the structure of the FHIR resources rather than focusing
on the systems included. This is helpful if you can't control the source of the data that you are validating.
