com.google.fhir.common.JsonFormat will be provided by @com_google_fhirproto//java/com/google/fhir/common:json_format, instead of @com_google_fhirproto//java:json_format

Note that no actual Java package names have been changed, but BUILD dependencies have to be updated.

For an example of how to update your dependencies, see the Java Fhir Examples commit.

Golang jsonformat API

Golang jsonformat unmarshalling now uses the same validation conventions as other languages. Both NewUnmarshaller and NewUnmarshallerWithoutValidation will enforce basic FHIR primitive validity - e.g., DateTimes must be valid FHIR DateTimes, bound codes must use a valid code string from the correct code system. The difference is that the default Parser will also enforce StructureDefinition/Profile constraints such as required fields and FHIRProto expressions. If you want to be able to parse incomplete/non-compliant protos, use NewUnmarshallerWithoutValidation. Finally, the default (i.e., validating) parser will no longer fail on the first error, and instead return all the errors it encountered in the case of a failure.

Other

Fixed a bug where references would fail validation in Python and C++ if they did not conform to a known schema.

Upcoming

With the newly-updated BUILD structure for Java in place, look forward to added multi-version support and profiling in Java.
