Method Detail

generate

void generate(Visitable visitable,
              OutputStream out)
       throws FHIRGeneratorException

Write visitable to the passed OutputStream. This method does not close the passed OutputStream. For visitable of type Resource, this serializes the resource in accordance with the specification. For visitable of type Element, this serializes the element content using a suitable wrapper for the configured format.

Parameters:

visitable - The visitable Resource or Element to serialize

out -

Throws:

FHIRGeneratorException

generate

void generate(Visitable visitable,
              Writer writer)
       throws FHIRGeneratorException

Write visitable using the passed Writer. This method does not close the passed Writer. For visitable of type Resource, this serializes the resource in accordance with the specification. For visitable of type Element, this serializes the element content using a suitable wrapper for the configured format.

Parameters:

visitable - The visitable Resource or Element to serialize

writer -

Throws:

FHIRGeneratorException

isPrettyPrinting

boolean isPrettyPrinting()

Returns:

whether this FHIRGenerator is configured to pretty-print its output

setProperty

void setProperty(String name,
                 Object value)

Set the property with the given name to the passed value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the property name is unknown or unsupported

getProperty

Object getProperty(String name)

Returns:

the property value or null if the property has no value

getPropertyOrDefault

Object getPropertyOrDefault(String name,
                            Object defaultValue)

Returns:

the property value or defaultValue if the property has no value

getProperty

<T> T getProperty(String name,
                  Class<T> type)

Returns:

the property value or null if the property has no value

getPropertyOrDefault

<T> T getPropertyOrDefault(String name,
                           T defaultValue,
                           Class<T> type)

Returns:

the property value or defaultValue if the property has no value

isPropertySupported

boolean isPropertySupported(String name)

Whether the generator supports the property with the passed name

as

<T extends FHIRGenerator> T as(Class<T> generatorClass)

generator

static FHIRGenerator generator(Format format)

generator

static FHIRGenerator generator(Format format,
                               boolean prettyPrinting)

Create a FHIRGenerator for the given format.

Parameters:
