Package ca.uhn.fhir.parser

Interface IJsonLikeParser

All Superinterfaces:

IParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

JsonParser

public interface IJsonLikeParser
extends IParser

An extension to the parser interface that is implemented by parsers that understand a generalized form of JSON data. This generalized form uses Map-like, List-like, and scalar elements to construct resources.

Thread safety: Parsers are not guaranteed to be thread safe. Create a new parser instance for every thread or every message being parsed/encoded.

Method Details

encodeResourceToJsonLikeWriter

void encodeResourceToJsonLikeWriter(IBaseResource theResource,
 BaseJsonLikeWriter theJsonLikeWriter)
                             throws IOException,
DataFormatException

Throws:

IOException

DataFormatException

parseResource

<T extends IBaseResource> T parseResource(Class<T> theResourceType,
 JsonLikeStructure theJsonLikeStructure)
                                   throws DataFormatException

Parses a resource from a JSON-like data structure

Parameters:

theResourceType - The resource type to use. This can be used to explicitly specify a class which extends a built-in type (e.g. a custom type extending the default Patient class)

theJsonLikeStructure - The JSON-like structure to parse

Returns:

A parsed resource

Throws:

DataFormatException - If the resource can not be parsed because the data is not recognized or invalid for any reason

parseResource

IBaseResource parseResource(JsonLikeStructure theJsonLikeStructure)
                     throws DataFormatException

Parses a resource from a JSON-like data structure

Parameters:

theJsonLikeStructure - The JSON-like structure to parse

Returns:

A parsed resource. Note that the returned object will be an instance of IResource or IAnyResource depending on the specific FhirContext which created this parser.

Throws:

DataFormatException - If the resource can not be parsed because the data is not recognized or invalid for any reason
