HL7 Soup XML attributes

HL7 Soup supports attributes in the expressions, however, the binding tree doesn’t show them as bindable entities.  This means you have to manually type in the path that includes the attribute address.  You can do that with an @ followed by the attribute name.

For example:

<Patient>
    <ID ext=”test”>1000</ID>

 

The path for the extension attribute would be

Patient/ID/@ext

 

Note you still need to have a binding and not just text.  So the easiest way is to bind to the field, then manually edit the path. You can do this in the transformers.
