YamlGen Specification

YAMLGEN

Want to create a FHIR resource? All you need to know is YAML

Introduction

With YAMLGEN you can create FHIR resources by just writing YAML. It is the quickest way to define FHIR profiles and example resources. It is especially handy when you quickly need to create example data.

YamlGen will help you generate resources without having to maintain much more verbose xml or json files and can even produce multiple resources from a single instruction .

Try it

You can try out YAMLGEN in our Playground. And you can start with any public scope (project or package).

Accellerators

Accellerators help you to write even shorter Yaml. The following Yaml example:

Patient:
    id: 4
    name:
        given: John

can be written as follows with accellerators:

Patient/4:
    name.given: John
