1) New to FHIRPath and trying to get to know it; decided to try Grahame's Notepad++ Plugin.
2) I installed the FHIR Notepad++ Plugin, release 1.0.30 from this page:
http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/fhirnpp.htm
Thanks Grahame!
3) FHIR version R3 is loaded (per Plugin Setting > Configuration)
4) I displayed the FHIR Toolbox and FHIR Visualizer
5) I copied the Example Patient XML and JSON found here to two new Notepad++ Documents:
https://www.hl7.org/fhir/patient-example.html
6) The FHIR Visualizer Narrative displays Name/Address/Contacts/Id nicely.
The Toolbox button to Generate Narrative added more text to the Visualizer Narrative tab. great.
7) In the FHIR Toolbox Path field, I typed: Patient.address.city

  And the FHIR Visualizer Path results showed:  string: Pleasantville

Patient.name.family also worked well.
8) The Expression Tree is nice to get to know element data types
9) Validation error at top of Notepad++ Document for both the XML and JSON reads:
Validation Process Failed: Document /r3/metadata not found
The failing portion with this message: Error validating: Document /r3/metadata not found, is:

"type" : {
    "coding" : [
      {
        "system" : "http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203",
        "code" : "MR"

Wondering if anyone knows how to correct the Validation error.
Also wondering if anyone knows where to find more documentation on this tool.

Thank you.

err, well, the problem is that the terminology server is broken right now.

Grahame Grieve (Aug 21 2018 at 00:04):

fixing it is on my long list of things to achieve this week

Thanks Grahame. The lists are long and get longer every day. No hurry.

Sheila Connelly (Aug 21 2018 at 12:13):

Nicola, thank you. The displayed Patient, are you rendering it from an XML or JSON or other source?

nicola (RIO/SS) (Aug 21 2018 at 12:47):

This is json converted into yaml

nicola (RIO/SS) (Aug 21 2018 at 12:47):

for readability. You can convert json to yaml online https://www.json2yaml.com/

Thanks. Haven’t heard of yaml.
