FHIR R4 Patient Bundle (JSON)
A sample HL7 FHIR R4 bundle with a Patient plus vital-sign Observations, an Encounter, and a Condition — a realistic healthcare-interoperability fixture for testing FHIR parsers and mappers. Synthetic data, not a real person.

What is a .json file?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.
How to use this file
Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.
How to use this file for testing
“FHIR R4 Patient Bundle (JSON)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import, Conversion testing. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.
Documented properties for this file: JSON · 3,451 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Data fixtures document their exact quirks — delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts — in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
