FHIR SDKs — C#, Java, Python, PHP, etc.

There are 145 resource types in FHIR R4. That’s a lot of objects to create.

Thankfully, a number of SDKs and libraries exist to do all or part of the work for you.

If you’re using C#, Java or Python, you’re covered by one of the open source SDKs out-of-the-box.

If you’re using another language, you’ll find partial SDKs and collections of objects that help, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a complete solution.

This is a good reason to choose your language carefully if you’re starting work on a new FHIR project. Practicality first. It’s not a time to be trendy!

The further down the list you go, the less complete the libraries — correct me if I’m wrong. If I’ve missed any, please leave a comment and share a link.
