Uses Protocol Buffers to enforce structured codes and extensions, ensuring data integrity and FHIR compliance as highlighted in the README.
Enables support across programming languages through Protocol Buffers, facilitating multi-language healthcare systems.
Reduces disk space usage compared to JSON formats, making it ideal for large-scale healthcare datasets.
Allows generation and validation against custom implementation guides, tailoring the data model to specific requirements.
Getting started requires external repositories like fhir-examples for examples and scripts, adding initial overhead.
Tight coupling with Google's Protocol Buffers may limit flexibility and integration with non-Google technologies.
Requires simultaneous expertise in FHIR standards and Protocol Buffers, which can be challenging for new developers.
