Is there an easier way to commit data to an EHR?

[daguanyu]

According to EHRServer v2.3 guide, I used Insomnia REST Client and our test scripts to commit data. However, I find out that to send request properly, I need to write a very complex request body. So I wonder if there is an easier way to help me get the request body json according to the template?

Hi @daguanyu the complex request body you mention is a COMPOSITION structure serialized to JSON or XML, you don't need to write that structure, that is created by code, mapping from some input data, maybe a form a user uses to input the data, and then the COMPOSITION is serialized. That is how every openEHR system works.

Now, if you want to do a quick test with random data, you should use the openEHR Toolkit to generate data based on operational templates https://toolkit.cabolabs.com/
