HL7 developer tools

Four tools that share one parser and one set of plan limits. Premium tools need a free account.

HL7 Inspector Available

Explore a message as segments, fields, repetitions and components, with copyable paths and search.

Open to everyone. Signed-in plans change the size limit.

Open HL7 Inspector

Message Diff Available

Compare two messages: segment order, counts and field values, with repeated segments compared by occurrence. Textual comparison only.

Free account. Aligned pairing is experimental; ignore rules need Pro.

HL7-to-JSON Available

Structured JSON that keeps order, repeated segments, empty values and repetitions. Documented schema, copy and download.

Free account.
