I have some sample data in FHIR/json format that I'd like to convert to csv. Is there a simple way to perform this conversion one-time? Any way to perform this same conversion on an on going basis?
Thanks.

Not really, because there are all sorts of decisions about how to flatten. As an example, if flattening Patient data to a CSV, is each address a column, or do you repeat sets of columns for each address? How do you handle extensions? What about complex extensions like us-race? How you produce the CSV is really driven by what you want in the columns.

@Lloyd McKenzie Thank you - makes sense.
