While the reference servers are not considered to be a normative part of the FHIR specification, the maintainers make every effort to ensure that they are fully compliant.\n\nNote that there are a large number of servers available for testing that are not listed here. A full list is available on the HL7 Confluence system [here](https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Public+Test+Servers).\n\n| Server Name | Maintainer | Link |\n|-------------|------------|------|\n| Healthintersections | Grahame Grieve | [http://fhir3.healthintersections.com.au/](http://fhir3.healthintersections.com.au/) |\n| Spark | Furore Informatica | [http://spark.furore.com/](http://spark.furore.com/) |\n| HAPI | University Health Network / James Agnew | [http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/](http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/) |\n| sqlonfhir | Telstra Health / Brian Postlethwaite | [http://sqlonfhir-stu3.azurewebsites.net/fhir](http://sqlonfhir-stu3.azurewebsites.net/fhir) |\n\n### For Developers: Reference Implementations (Libraries)\n\nThe following reference implementations are made available under an open-source license. These libraries may be used by developers to quickly add FHIR capabilities to their applications.\n\n| Language | Library | Link | License |\n|----------|---------|------|---------|\n| .NET / C# | FHIR .NET API | [https://github.com/ewoutkramer/fhir-net-api](https://github.com/ewoutkramer/fhir-net-api) | BSD-3 |\n| Java | HAPI FHIR | [http://hapifhir.io](http://hapifhir.io) | Apache 2.0 |\n| Swift | Swift FHIR | [https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/Swift-FHIR](https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/Swift-FHIR) | Apache 2.0 |\n| JavaScript | fhir.js | [https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/fhir.js](https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/fhir.js) | MIT |\n| Python | Client Py | [https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py](https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py) | Apache 2.0 |\n| Pascal | FHIR Pascal | [http://hl7.org/fhir/downloads.html](http://hl7.org/fhir/downloads.html) | BSD-3 |\n\n### For Profilers\n\nA number of tools are available to profilers wishing to create profiles for use in their implementations. A current list of tools can be found [here](https://confluence.hl7.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35718864#ProfileTooling-Editing&AuthoringProfiles) on HL7 Confluence. (See the [conformance module](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/conformance-module.html) for information on profiling.)\n\n### For Testers\n\nA number of tools are available to solution testers who want to test FHIR implementations for conformance to the FHIR specification. A current list of such tools can be found [here](https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Testing+Platforms).\n\n---\n\n## Getting Help\n\nThe following are a few ways that implementers can seek help as they work with FHIR:\n\n* [FHIR Chat Channel / Zulip](http://chat.fhir.org/) (maintained by fhir.org)\n* [FHIR Community Forum](http://community.fhir.org/) (maintained by fhir.org)\n* [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/hl7_fhir) (General tech community, use the tag `hl7_fhir`)\n\n---\n\n## Developmental Roadmap\n\nThe reference servers and reference implementations generally try to keep up to date with recent changes to the FHIR specification. Each server may have multiple endpoints which are held to a specific version of the specification, but generally there will also be endpoints available for testing which conform to a very recent build.\n\nEfforts are now underway to create a curated collection of quality test data which can be used by FHIR implementers to help test their applications. This collection will be made available when it is ready."},"compilationErrors":[],"markdown":{"partials":{},"variables":{"rbac":{"teams":["anonymous"]},"user":{},"remoteAddr":{"hostname":"docs.axiomera.com","port":4000,"ipAddress":"216.73.217.173"},"lang":"default_locale","env":{"PUBLIC_REDOCLY_BRANCH_NAME":"main"}}},"pagePropGetterError":{"message":"","name":""}},"slug":"/apis/fhir/implementer-support","userData":{"isAuthenticated":false,"teams":["anonymous"]},"isPublic":true}
