What is a FHIR Resource Validator?

A FHIR Resource Validator is a tool that checks if your healthcare data (formatted in JSON or XML) conforms to the HL7 FHIR standard specifications (like R4, R5, or DSTU3).

Is this FHIR validator free to use?

Yes, this tool is 100% free and runs directly in your browser. It uses public FHIR servers for deep validation.

Does this tool save my patient data?

No. We do not store any data. Validation happens via a secure request to a public test server (like HAPI FHIR) or locally in your browser. Always use de-identified or synthetic data for testing.

About FHIR Resource Validator

The FHIR Resource Validator is a powerful, client-side tool designed for healthcare developers, integration engineers, and informatics specialists. It allows you to instantly validate HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) data against official standards (R4, R5, DSTU3).

How to Use

Paste Code: Copy your FHIR JSON or XML resource into the editor on the left.
Select Version: Choose the target FHIR version (e.g., R4) from the dropdown menu.
Validate: Click the "Validate Resource" button. The tool will perform a syntax check locally and then a deep validation against a public FHIR server.
Analyze: Review the results panel for errors, warnings, or information messages. Click on an issue to locate it in your code (if line numbers are available).
Export: Download your validation report as a JSON or CSV file for documentation.

Why Use This Tool?

Unlike other validators that are slow or require complex setups, this tool is lightweight, responsive, and accessible. It combines local syntax checking with server-side profile validation to ensure your resources are not just well-formed, but also compliant with the FHIR specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What FHIR versions are supported? +

We currently support FHIR R4 (Release 4), R5 (Release 5), and DSTU3 (Draft Standard for Trial Use 3). These are the most widely used versions in the industry.

Is my data secure? +

We prioritize privacy. The tool runs primarily in your browser. For deep validation, data is sent to a public test server (like HAPI FHIR) over HTTPS. We recommend using synthetic or de-identified data only, as public test servers may be accessible to others.

Can I validate offline? +

Yes and no. Basic syntax validation (checking if your JSON is valid) works offline. However, checking against specific FHIR profiles and definitions requires an internet connection to reach the validation server.
