Topic: Mixing FHIR and other JSON
Ville Lindholm (May 09 2017 at 18:34):
And another question on another topic: say I want to provide a REST endpoint that returns a list of keywords that may be used inside FHIR resources in other parts of the same REST API (in effect, a menu of the currently available values for a certain resource field). Is it good practice to only return the list as pure JSON, with no FHIR around it? Or what would be your suggestion?

It's cleaner if the non-FHIR stuff isn't hosted beneath your FHIR endpoint, though I don't think that's technically prohibited. If you want to do pure FHIR, you could use operation and pass your keywords back inside Parameters
Ville Lindholm (May 09 2017 at 18:50):
ah, yes, an operation would probably be good! I had forgotten about that. Thanks ;)

We've done similar things using a valueset and the expand operation.
