- Method Detail
  - expand
```
public static ValueSet expand(ValueSet valueSet)
```
    Expand the given value set per the algorithm here: http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset.html#expansion
    
    Parameters:
    
    valueSet - the value set to be expanded
    
    Returns:
    
    the expanded value set, or the original value set if already expanded or unable to expand
  - isExpanded
```
public static boolean isExpanded(ValueSet valueSet)
```
  - isExpandable
```
public static boolean isExpandable(ValueSet valueSet)
```
  - getContains
```
public static Set<ValueSet.Expansion.Contains> getContains(ValueSet.Expansion expansion)
```
    Get a set containing ValueSet.Expansion.Contains instances where all structural hierarchies have been flattened.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expansion - the expansion containing the list of Contains instances to flatten
    
    Returns:
    
    flattened set of Contains instances for the given expansion
  - getValueSet
```
public static ValueSet getValueSet(String url)
```
    Get the value set associated with the given url from the FHIR registry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    url - the url of the value set
    
    Returns:
    
    the value set associated with the given input parameter, or null if no such value set exists
