setDontEncodeElements

public IParser setDontEncodeElements(Collection<String> theDontEncodeElements)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If provided, specifies the elements which should NOT be encoded. Valid values for this field would include:

• Patient - Don't encode patient and all its children
• Patient.name - Don't encode the patient's name
• Patient.name.family - Don't encode the patient's family name
• *.text - Don't encode the text element on any resource (only the very first position may contain a wildcard)

Note: If IParser.setSummaryMode(boolean) is set to true, then any elements specified using this method will be excluded even if they are summary elements.

DSTU2 note: Note that values including meta, such as Patient.meta will work for DSTU2 parsers, but values with sub-elements on meta such as Patient.meta.lastUpdated will only work in DSTU3+ mode.

encodeResourceToString

public String encodeResourceToString(IBaseResource theResource)
                              throws DataFormatException

Description copied from interface: IParser

Encodes a resource using the parser's given encoding format.

Specified by:

encodeResourceToString in interface IParser

Parameters:

theResource - The resource to encode. Must not be null.

Returns:

A string representation of the encoding

Throws:

Specified by:

encodeResourceToWriter in interface IParser

Parameters:

theResource - The resource to encode. Must not be null.

theWriter - The writer to write to.

Throws:

IOException

encodeToString

public String encodeToString(IBase theElement)
                      throws DataFormatException

Description copied from interface: IParser

Encodes any FHIR element to a string. If a resource object is passed in, the resource will be encoded using standard FHIR encoding rules. If a primitive datatype is passed in, the string value of the primitive type is encoded. Any extensions on the primitive type are not encoded. If any other object is passed in, a fragment is encoded. The format of the fragment depends on the encoding:

• JSON: The fragment is output as a simple JSON object, exactly as it would appear within an encoded resource.
• XML: The fragment is output as an XML element as it would appear within an encoded resource, however it is wrapped in an element called <element> in order to avoid producing a document with multiple root tags.
• RDF/Turtle: This mode is not supported and will throw an InternalErrorException

Specified by:

encodeToString in interface IParser

Throws:

DataFormatException

encodeToWriter

public void encodeToWriter(IBase theElement,
 Writer theWriter)
                    throws DataFormatException,
IOException

Description copied from interface: IParser

Encodes any FHIR element to a writer. If a resource object is passed in, the resource will be encoded using standard FHIR encoding rules. If a primitive datatype is passed in, the string value of the primitive type is encoded. Any extensions on the primitive type are not encoded. If any other object is passed in, a fragment is encoded. The format of the fragment depends on the encoding:

• JSON: The fragment is output as a simple JSON object, exactly as it would appear within an encoded resource.
• XML: The fragment is output as an XML element as it would appear within an encoded resource, however it is wrapped in an element called <element> in order to avoid producing a document with multiple root tags.

IOException

parseInto

public void parseInto(Reader theSource,
 IBase theTarget)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IParser

Parses an object fragment into the given structure.

Specified by:

parseInto in interface IParser

Parameters:

theSource - The source value to parse and use to populate theTarget. If theTarget is an instance of IPrimitiveType the value is treated as a simple string value. So for example, when populating a DateTimeTime, the value should resemble 2020-01-01, not <birthDate value="2020-01-01"/>. If theTarget is a complex structure, the value should be a container element suitable for the parser's encoding. So for example, if the target is an Identifier, the value would be expected to resemble <identifier><system value="..."/><value value="..."/></identifier> or {"system":"...", "value":"..."}.

theTarget - The target structure to populate. Note that this structure is not cleared automatically by the parser, so existing values will be overwritten only if theSource has a value for the given element.

Throws:

IOException

doParseIntoComplexStructure

protected void doParseIntoComplexStructure(Reader theSource,
 IBase theTarget)

getDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths

public Set<String> getDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths()

Description copied from interface: IParser

Returns the value supplied to IParser.setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String...) or null if no value has been set for this parser (in which case the default from the ParserOptions will be used).

getEncodeForceResourceId

public IIdType getEncodeForceResourceId()

Description copied from interface: IParser

If not set to null (as is the default) this ID will be used as the ID in any resources encoded by this parser

Specified by:

getEncodeForceResourceId in interface IParser

setEncodeForceResourceId

public BaseParser setEncodeForceResourceId(IIdType theEncodeForceResourceId)

Description copied from interface: IParser

getPreferTypes

public List<Class<? extends IBaseResource>> getPreferTypes()

Description copied from interface: IParser

Gets the preferred types, as set using IParser.setPreferTypes(List)

Specified by:

getPreferTypes in interface IParser

Returns:

Returns the preferred types, or null

See Also:

• IParser.setPreferTypes(List)

setPreferTypes

public void setPreferTypes(List<Class<? extends IBaseResource>> thePreferTypes)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set, when parsing resources the parser will try to use the given types when possible, in the order that they are provided (from highest to lowest priority). For example, if a custom type which declares to implement the Patient resource is passed in here, and the parser is parsing a Bundle containing a Patient resource, the parser will use the given custom type.

This feature is related to, but not the same as the FhirContext.setDefaultTypeForProfile(String, Class) feature. setDefaultTypeForProfile is used to specify a type to be used when a resource explicitly declares support for a given profile. This feature specifies a type to be used irrespective of the profile declaration in the metadata statement.

Specified by:

setPreferTypes in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePreferTypes - The preferred types, or null

getProfileTagsForEncoding

protected <T extends IPrimitiveType<String>>
List<T> getProfileTagsForEncoding(IBaseResource theResource,
 List<T> theProfiles)

getServerBaseUrl

protected String getServerBaseUrl()

getStripVersionsFromReferences

public Boolean getStripVersionsFromReferences()

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), resource references containing a version will have the version removed when the resource is encoded. This is generally good behaviour because in most situations, references from one resource to another should be to the resource by ID, not by ID and version. In some cases though, it may be desirable to preserve the version in resource links. In that case, this value should be set to false.

Specified by:

getStripVersionsFromReferences in interface IParser

Returns:

Returns the parser instance's configuration setting for stripping versions from resource references when encoding. This method will return null if no value is set, in which case the value from the ParserOptions will be used (default is true)

See Also:

• ParserOptions

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths

public IParser setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String... thePaths)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If supplied value(s), any resource references at the specified paths will have their resource versions encoded instead of being automatically stripped during the encoding process. This setting has no effect on the parsing process.

This method provides a finer-grained level of control than IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) and any paths specified by this method will be encoded even if IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) has been set to true (which is the default)

Specified by:

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePaths - A collection of paths for which the resource versions will not be removed automatically when serializing, e.g. "Patient.managingOrganization" or "AuditEvent.object.reference". Note that only resource name and field names with dots separating is allowed here (no repetition indicators, FluentPath expressions, etc.). Set to null to use the value set in the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean)
• ParserOptions

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths

public IParser setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(Collection<String> thePaths)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If supplied value(s), any resource references at the specified paths will have their resource versions encoded instead of being automatically stripped during the encoding process. This setting has no effect on the parsing process.

This method provides a finer-grained level of control than IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) and any paths specified by this method will be encoded even if IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) has been set to true (which is the default)

Specified by:

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePaths - A collection of paths for which the resource versions will not be removed automatically when serializing, e.g. "Patient.managingOrganization" or "AuditEvent.object.reference". Note that only resource name and field names with dots separating is allowed here (no repetition indicators, FluentPath expressions, etc.). Set to null to use the value set in the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean)
• ParserOptions

setOmitResourceId

public IParser setOmitResourceId(boolean theOmitResourceId)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (default is false) the ID of any resources being encoded will not be included in the output. Note that this does not apply to contained resources, only to root resources. In other words, if this is set to true, contained resources will still have local IDs but the outer/containing ID will not have an ID.

If the resource being encoded is a Bundle or Parameters resource, this setting only applies to the outer resource being encoded, not any resources contained within.

Specified by:

setOmitResourceId in interface IParser

Parameters:

theOmitResourceId - Should resource IDs be omitted

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl

public IParser setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl(Boolean theOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), the Bundle.entry.fullUrl will override the Bundle.entry.resource's resource id if the fullUrl is defined. This behavior happens when parsing the source data into a Bundle object. Set this to false if this is not the desired behavior (e.g. the client code wishes to perform additional validation checks between the fullUrl and the resource id).

Specified by:

setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl in interface IParser

Parameters:

theOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl - Set this to false to prevent the parser from overriding resource ids with the Bundle.entry.fullUrl (or null to apply the default setting from the ParserOptions)

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• ParserOptions

setParserErrorHandler

public IParser setParserErrorHandler(IParserErrorHandler theErrorHandler)

Description copied from interface: IParser

Registers an error handler which will be invoked when any parse errors are found

Specified by:

setParserErrorHandler in interface IParser

Parameters:

theErrorHandler - The error handler to set. Must not be null.

setServerBaseUrl

public IParser setServerBaseUrl(String theUrl)

Description copied from interface: IParser

Sets the server's base URL used by this parser. If a value is set, resource references will be turned into relative references if they are provided as absolute URLs but have a base matching the given base.

Specified by:

setServerBaseUrl in interface IParser

Parameters:

theUrl - The base URL, e.g. "http://example.com/base"

Returns:

Returns an instance of this parser so that method calls can be chained together

setStripVersionsFromReferences

public IParser setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean theStripVersionsFromReferences)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), resource references containing a version will have the version removed when the resource is encoded. This is generally good behaviour because in most situations, references from one resource to another should be to the resource by ID, not by ID and version. In some cases though, it may be desirable to preserve the version in resource links. In that case, this value should be set to false.

This method provides the ability to globally disable reference encoding. If finer-grained control is needed, use IParser.setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String...)

Specified by:

setStripVersionsFromReferences in interface IParser

Parameters:

theStripVersionsFromReferences - Set this to false to prevent the parser from removing resource versions from references (or null to apply the default setting from the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String...)
• ParserOptions

setSummaryMode

public IParser setSummaryMode(boolean theSummaryMode)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (default is false) only elements marked by the FHIR specification as being "summary elements" will be included.

It is possible to modify the default summary mode element inclusions for this parser instance by invoking IParser.setEncodeElements(Set) or IParser.setDontEncodeElements(Collection). It is also possible to modify the default summary mode element inclusions for all parsers generated for a given FhirContext by accessing FhirContext.getParserOptions() followed by ParserOptions.setEncodeElementsForSummaryMode(Collection) and/or ParserOptions.setDontEncodeElementsForSummaryMode(Collection).

For compatibility reasons with other frameworks, when encoding a CapabilityStatement resource in summary mode, extensions are always encoded, even though the FHIR Specification does not consider them to be summary elements.

Specified by:

setSummaryMode in interface IParser

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

setSuppressNarratives

public IParser setSuppressNarratives(boolean theSuppressNarratives)

Description copied from interface: IParser
