sb-sl7

Library for easy access to information inside a text-messae, like HL7-Messages used in Health communication.

This Project is a typescript migration from our internal repository.
We decided to published it under the LGPL-v3 during the rad-on-fhir - Project.

Documentation is still mostly missing - please see the Example below.
