Welcome to the Spark wiki!

Spark is the C# reference implementation of the FHIR specification. It supports all the resource types, all the search parameters and a lot of the more sophisticated interactions. To understand Spark and how you can use it, it is neccessary that you understand (at least the basics of) FHIR first.

The FHIR specification is still under development. Current (as of July 2016) version is DSTU2, and that is also the version Spark is built against. STU3 is expected to become final in January 2017, and support in Spark is foreseen for the next big version of Spark, see the Roadmap.

You can try a running instance of Spark on http://spark.furore.com. Retrieve your first patient resource on http://spark.furore.com/fhir/Patient/example.

If you want to know about how Spark is structured, read about the Architecture. It makes it easier to understand everything else.

You want to use Spark in your own environment? Fitting Spark in my environment explains possible ways of using Spark. To deploy it right away on a machine of your own, follow the Deployment instructions.

Spark is open source and your contribution is welcome.

Spark is always on the move. The Roadmap shows a glimpse of our plans.
