Declarative
FSH allows you to define FHIR profiles in a simple, declarative language. No more large JSON files or spreadsheets, just human-readable text files which compile to the FHIR artifacts you need.
Source control ready
Unlike other tools for profiling FHIR, FSH works seamlessly with source control tools like GitHub. Maintain a history of changes, track contributions, and maintain agility by using FSH with source control.
State of the art
The FSH Specification is continuously being improved to give users a better experience. Take a look at the official FSH specification for more information about how FSH can be used to profile FHIR.
