HL7 library for Ruby Released
Mark Guzman over at Tech Addict just announced the 0.1.23 release of an HL7 parser for Ruby. I’ve been doing a bunch of Rails stuff lately and this should come in handy when I need HL7 parsing. I haven’t tried it out yet, but here’s what Mark said is in there:
- Flexible parsing support
- MLLP support
- Provides a simple DSL (domain specific language) for defining segments (Ruby style)
- Allows for arbitrary manipulation of segment data
- Automatic segment ordering (via sort)
- Familiar Ruby Array/Enumerable semantics
How to get it:
gem install ruby-hl7
or grab the tarball from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3261
