Json and Xml Roundtrip?
<XXX xmlns=“urn:foo”>
<B a=“c” />
<C>One</C>
<C>Two</C>
<D>One</D>
<div>Not <b>so</b></div>
</XXX>
{
“B”: { “@a” : “c” },
“C”: [ “One”, “Two” ],
“D” : “One”,
“div” :
{ “#text” : “Not ”,
“b” : “so”
}
}
FHIR Xml and JSon guidelines
<Person xmlns="http://www.hl7.org/fhir">
<identifiers>
<identifier>
<type>
<code>MR</code>
<system>urn:hl7-org:sid/v2-0203</system>
</type>
<identifier>
<system>oid:1.2.36.146.595.217.0.1</system>
<id>12345</id>
</identifier>
<assigner>
<text>Acme Healthcare</text>
</assigner>
<period>
<low>2001-05-06</low>
</period>
</identifier>
</identifiers>
<text>
<status>generated</status>
<xhtml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
"Person" : {
"identifiers" :
[ { "identifier" :
{ "type" :
{ "code" : "MR",
"system" : "urn:hl7-org:sid/v2-0203“ }
}
} ],
"text" : {
"status" : "generated",
"xhtml" : "<table><tbody><tr><td>Name</td>
<td>Peter James <b>Chalmers</b>
</table></tbody></table>"
}
}
Two ways of storing in MongoDb
var database = server.GetDatabase("test");
var collection = database.GetCollection<Entity>("entities");
var entity = new Entity { Name = "Tom" };
collection.Insert(entity);
var id = entity.Id;
BsonDocument nested = new BsonDocument
{
{ "name", "John Doe" },
{ "address", new BsonDocument
{
{ "street", "123 Main St." },
{ "city", "Centerville" },
{ "zip", 12345 }
}
}
};
collection.Insert(nested);
What a detour….
Json -> XML -> Json -> Bson
Storing a resource as a record
ResourceRecord
ResourceRecord
- RecordId, Version
ResourceRecord
- RecordId, Version
State
- --RecordId,
State Version
CreationDate, Author
- --State
CreationDate, Author
- CreationDate, Author
ResourceInstance
- AsJson(), ToJson(), …
- GetElement(), ReplaceElement()
- ResourceId, Location, Type

Data (XML)
How do I do transactions/locking?
MongoDB does not use traditional locking or complex transactions with
rollback, as it is designed to be lightweight and fast and predictable in its
performance. It can be thought of as analogous to the MySQL MyISAM
autocommit model. By keeping transaction support extremely simple,
performance is enhanced, especially in a system that may run across many
servers.

Consistency,
Availability and
Partition tolerance
