This crate requires a nightly (unstable, experimental) compiler version. To switch to it, you must have Rust installed via Rustup, and run:

rustup default nightly

Run rustup default stable to switch back.

Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install rumtk-v2-interface

It will make the rumtk-v2-interface command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall rumtk-v2-interface uninstalls.

Back to the crate overview.

Readme

rumtk-v2-interface

Using RUMTK, this is a utility that implements the steps for receiving and sending HL7 v2 messages. This utility does not cast the incoming message to the data types defined by the HL7 specification nor does it apply the validation rules and tables. That will be handled by a different utility.

Goal

To provide a basic interface utility that serves as client and server for transacting v2 messages.
Have a utility that can be used on the terminal as part of other projects or a more complex pipeline.
Provide basic parsing of HL7 v2 messages.

Features

HL7 v2 Interface
- Listener
- Client
- Basic parsing of v2 message from pipes to V2Message type.
- Basic generation of v2 message from V2Message to pipes format.
- Allow reading of JSON or HL7 messages
- Tests
- Fuzz Targets

Contributing

In its initial stages, I will be pushing code directly to the main branch. Once basic functionality has been stablished, everyone including myself is required to open an issue for discussions, fork the project, and open a PR under your own feature or main branch. I kindly ask you include a battery of unit tests with your PR to help protect the project against regressions. Any contributions are very appreciated.
