Welcome

Welcome to the ITK Payloads library! This is a simple framework for generating complex XML documents (primarily HL7v3 and CDA documents) from a simple set of java objects. It simplifies the process of creating and parsing these documents within your Java application. It is designed to work alongside the ITK Reference Implementation , but does not depend upon it (in fact there are no external dependencies outside standard Java 1.5+ and slf4j for logging).

You can download the latest released version of the code as a jar file from the downloads section, or get up and running straight away by adding the below to your maven pom file:

#!xml 
<dependency>
  <groupId>uk.nhs.interoperability</groupId>
  <artifactId>itk-payloads</artifactId>
  <version>0.5</version>
</dependency>

The code currently supports several ITK payloads:

Transfer of Care eDischarge
End of Life Care Preferences Document
Non-Coded CDA Document
Child Screening Document
Notifications
Document Retrieval
PDS Mini Service SOAP Messages

See the Release Notes for more details.
