public abstract class Element extends Base implements org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.api.IBaseHasExtensions, org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.api.IBaseElement
Base definition for all elements in a resource.

  • Field Details

    • id

      protected IdType id
      unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).

    • extension

      protected List<Extension> extension
      May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
