Validation of FHIR data

There are two approaches to validation in the SDK:

• A validation based on System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations, that runs the most important validation checks on the POCO FHIR datamodel in memory. This is useful to do validation of the core FHIR resources and datatypes when working with POCO data.

• A profile validator, which can validate FHIR data against profiles . This validator uses ITypedElement as input for instance data, and any number of StructureDefinitions expressing profiles to validate against. See Introduction to ElementModel for more information on ITypedElement.
