Description

Thanks for this really wonderful library. I have lots of dirty data, and I was looking for an option to turn off all validation when I try to create a resource (e.g. Condition, Resource) from a json. Could you please send an example?

What I Did

I create resources in the regular way and I run into tons of errors. I would rather just turn off all validation.

This is a issue pertinent to me as well - I'm building up FHIR resources from a spreadsheet and not all of the data is available at resource construction time - some will come later.

At the moment, I'm filling in the mandatory data as a hack to satisfy the validator, but this becomes tricky when you have a mandatory choice such as MedicationStatement.medication[x] - using a placeholder value at instantiation time doesn't work because as soon as you try to remove it to set the correct datatype, the validator complains.

@Healthedata1 how do you deal with this - as I understand you have a similar usecase?
