fhir_resource_type

This function creates an object of class fhir_resource_type. It checks the resource type against the list
of resource types provided at https://hl7.org/FHIR/resourcelist.html, corrects wrong cases (which can be disabled with <code>fix_capitalization = FALSE</code>)
and throws a warning if the resource cannot be found at hl7.org.

Useful tools for conveniently downloading FHIR resources in xml format
and converting them to R data.frames. The package uses FHIR-search to download bundles
from a FHIR server, provides functions to save and read xml-files containing such bundles
and allows flattening the bundles to data.frames using XPath expressions. FHIR® is the registered trademark
