/**
 * <p>
 * This API is under-going active development, so it should be considered beta-level.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This interface is a Java rendition of the FHIR REST API. All FHIR operations are defined at the
 * HTTP level, which is convenient from the specification point-of-view since FHIR is built on top
 * of web standards. This does mean that a few HTTP specific considerations, such as transmitting
 * side-band information through the HTTP headers, bleeds into this API.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * One particularly odd case are FHIR Bundle links. The specification describes these as opaque to
 * the end-user, so a given FHIR repository implementation must be able to resolve those directly.
 * See {@link IRepository#link(Class, String)}
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This interface also chooses to ignore return headers for most cases, preferring to return the
 * Java objects directly. In cases where this is not possible, or the additional headers are crucial
 * information, HAPI's {@link MethodOutcome} is used.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Implementations of this interface should prefer to throw the exceptions derived from
 * {@link ca.uhn.fhir.rest.server.exceptions.BaseServerResponseException}
 *
 * All operations may throw {@link AuthenticationException}, {@link ForbiddenOperationException}, or
 * {@link InternalErrorException} in addition to operation-specific exceptions.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * If a given operation is not supported, implementations should throw an
 * {@link NotImplementedOperationException}. The capabilities operation, if supported, should return
 * the set of supported interactions. If capabilities is not supported, the components in this
 * repository will try to invoke operations with "sensible" defaults. For example, by using the
 * standard FHIR search parameters. Discussion is on-going to determine what a "sensible" minimal
 * level of support for interactions should be.
 * </p>
