Topic: Empty value error in XML, ok in JSON
Alexander Henket (Dec 14 2018 at 11:56):
When you schema validate a FHIR XML instance with something like below (STU3), an error is triggered because string-primitive has length > 0. This does not happen in online validation like on Simplifier. Schema bug or .Net validator bug?
<identifier>
<system value="http://example.org/careprovider"/>
<value value=""/>
</identifier>

This is correct behaviour.
The others are more permissive, the new Parser and validator are more strict.
Yunwei Wang (Dec 14 2018 at 15:44):
I remember there is an validator option to skip this.
Grahame Grieve (Dec 14 2018 at 20:17):
that is not valid; there should not be a validator option to skip that, but there might be a parser option to allow it

The .NET parser < version 1.0 allowed this, the new ones catch this. Simplifier has not yet been updated. And indeed, the behaviour is configurable in the settings to the parser.
Brian Postlethwaite (Dec 18 2018 at 11:36):
The validator should always catch it, not sure about the parser by default.
Ewout Kramer (Dec 18 2018 at 17:17):
The validator does indeed catch this, indeed, already before 1.0. The parsers did not.
