FHIR XML => JSON via XSLT

=========================

This repository contains XSL 2.0 stylesheet `fhir-xml2json.xsl` for

transformation of

[FHIR resources](http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/) XML

representation into JSON.

Such transformation requires metadata about FHIR resources structure,

so main XSL stylesheet `fhir-xml2json.xsl` needs other file called

`fhir-elements.xml` to be able to do conversion.

`fhir-elements.xml` is build from official FHIR metadata with XSL

stylesheet called `make-fhir-elements.xsl`. Once `fhir-elements.xml`

was built, you don't need `make-fhir-elements.xsl` to perform

conversion.

Prerequisites

-----

Basically you need some Unix environment (OSX or Linux are fine,

Windows needs Cygwin). Specially, following components should be

installed:

  * [Saxon](http://saxon.sourceforge.net/) XSLT processor

  * `make` utility to build `fhir-elements.xml` automatically

  * Python interpreter to pretty-print JSON when invoking `make

    examples`

  * `unzip` binary to extract ZIP archives

Usage

-----

Just clone this repo, cd into it and run `make`:

    $ cd fhir-xml2json

    $ make

If anything finished without errors, you will see `fhir-elements.xml`,

which is XML file containing all metainformation required to perform

XML => JSON conversion. In `examples` directory you can find some FHIR

resource samples converted to JSON.
