  "description": "The validate operation checks whether or not the provided content is a valid FHIR resource. The operation will additionally check if a provided FHIR resource is conformant to a set of profiles. The set of profiles consists of:\n- the FHIR core profile for the resourcetype of the resource\n- profiles declared in Resource.meta.profile (if any)\n- profile from the operation parameters (if any)\n\nThe operation returns HTTP 200 - OK irrespective of the outcome of the validation itself. A 4xx or 5xx error means that the validation could not be performed, and it is unknown whether or not the resource is valid.",
