Dear FHIR DOTNET-Maintainer Team,

I am currently conducting a comparative evaluation of FHIR clients as part of my
bachelor thesis in health informatics. One of my evaluation criteria is the response
time to support inquiries.

Therefore, I would like to kindly ask the following question as part of my analysis:
How can I read and write custom FHIR extensions using your client library?

If available, could you point me to any documentation or examples?

Many thanks for your time and support!

Kind regards,
Rüya Gökoglu

Hi Rüya,

As I'm understanding it you're not directly interested in the answer itself, but mainly in the response time. While I understand and applaud the scientific endeavor, I would like to mention that this is an open source community and your question is being answered on a volunteer basis. Making someone answer a question where one is not directly interested in the answer may not be seen as the best use of ones time.

For a one-line question where the user has not yet shown that they have done their own homework and have a specific question that they have not been able to answer on their own, I would generally refer one to read the appropriate documentation (in this case https://docs.fire.ly/projects/Firely-NET-SDK/en/latest/model/extensions.html) and come back with any specific questions they have after that and clearly state: What they have tried, what their outcome was and where they are stuck.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Ward
