Hello,
I'm looking to use this package. I wanted to know if you have any future plans to support different serialization/parsing implementations like protobuf? looking to extend this, it already has alot of good work in it that I don't want to duplicate.

Hi @Jose Molina, currently we're not working on implementing alternative serialization formats. However we're certainly interested in pull requests. Support for protobuf could be a useful addition. The Google team would probably welcome this ;p @Ewout Kramer, what do you think?
Ewout Kramer (Jan 28 2018 at 20:07):
Yes, Google is currently working at defining a protobuf mapping for FHIR. It would make sense to have a FHIR POCO -> protobuf in the .NET API once that is done. So, we're waiting for Google's work to mature, and then we can make this work.

I am working on the RDF serializer and parser and I agree with you. A lot is generic and is already in the .Net API!

@Ewout Kramer thanks. do you know where i could track their progress for the google side. is there a github i can subscribe to?

Once the first pass on this is done, I'm happy to co-ordinate the code generation for the whole model or at least collaborate on it.

@Jose Molina : Googles work is currently not in a public repo. Best to keep updated here and probably during the next FHIR DevDays in Boston.

Any news on the c# protobuf implementation, looks like something is here...

Happy to do the grunt work on the serializer if the Google side of things was done.
Ewout Kramer (Jul 23 2018 at 11:06):
Hold on, is there something we need to do?
Brian Postlethwaite (Jul 23 2018 at 23:40):
I'm not sure to be honest.
Martijn Harthoorn (Jul 30 2018 at 12:26):
The link from google is generated C# code, from a .proto file.
Martijn Harthoorn (Jul 30 2018 at 12:27):
That might not by very flexible for any FHIR resource C# Poco. Might also not work for things like slices and complex extensions.
Jose Molina (Aug 17 2018 at 18:57):
I would also love to know the status of this? we are starting a new project and protobuf support would be awesome!
Ewout Kramer (Sep 25 2018 at 08:59):
@Patrik Sundberg probably knowns the latest about this....
Jose Molina (Nov 18 2019 at 18:23):
So ASP.NET Core now has support for gRPC, and we want to venture into this and create a FHIR .proto file and play with this, do you guys already have a .proto file for fhir? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/grpc-vs-http-apis/
Brian Postlethwaite (Nov 18 2019 at 21:23):
The protobuf files are around somewhere.

(but maybe you're asking about protos for the RPC definitions themselves?)
