Describe the issue
I want to understand how the validate function works, but I got lost in all the class inheritance and couldn't find exactly where this happens in the codebase.
Would you please be openminded to document:
what is the "source of truth" to validate resources, (I assume XML or JSON structure definitions from hl7 website... does it download ResourceType.{json, xml}, what's the link used to get those?)
how does it compare this "source of truth" to the data?
Environment (please complete the following information):

Where is the code for InstanceValidator.validate?

Might be a dumb question, but clarity can help newcomers contribute to the codebase
