BlueButton.js 

BlueButton.js helps developers parse and generate complex health data formats like C-CDA with ease, so you can empower patients with access to their health records. Try the demo.

Quick Start

BlueButton.js supports a few different health data types, like C32 and CCDA. To parse a health document, pass the source data to BlueButton:

``JavaScript
var myRecord = BlueButton(xml);
`

BlueButton.js will detect the document type and choose the appropriate parser. The returned object has the following properties:

`JavaScript
myRecord.type // The document type
myRecord.source // The parsed source data with added querying methods
myRecord.data // The final parsed document data
`

Agile Enhancements

To parse a document using a specific format, rather than relying on BlueButton to dynamically determine the document type, set the parseType:

`JavaScript
// Allow BlueButton to determine the document type based on the document header
var myRecord = BlueButton(xmlData);

// Use the section type rather than document header to determine parse method to use
var myRecord = BlueButton(xmlData, { parseType: 'dynamic' });

// Parse as a C32 document regardless of the type defined in the document header
var myRecord = BlueButton(xmlData, { parseType: 'c32' });

// Parse as a CCDA document regardless of the type defined in the document header
var myRecord = BlueButton(xmlData, { parseType: 'ccda' });
``
