Answer 1

var object = {};

//Create JSON Object from HL7 Message.
object.mrn = msg['PID']['PID.3']['PID.3.1'].toString();
object.firstName = msg['PID']['PID.5']['PID.5.2'].toString();
object.lastName = msg['PID']['PID.5']['PID.5.1'].toString();
object.dob = msg['PID']['PID.7']['PID.7.1'].toString();
object.ssn = msg['PID']['PID.19']['PID.19.1'].toString();

//Create string from JSON Object.
var objjson = JSON.stringify(object);
logger.info(objjson);

//Create Json Object From JSON string.
var tt = JSON.parse(objjson);

Output

{"mrn":"1001","firstName":"COLLEEN","lastName":"OHALLAHAN","dob":"19850704","ssn":"123456789"}

I was parsing through this page, and found your code Rikin patel. Actually when You create object and display it, it may appear in the console as a JSON data, when when you look your output it will be the normal XML driven format. But instead of the object when you use msg as below:

msg = JSON.stringify(object); //converting msg into JSON object
logger.info("json data:" + msg); //displaying the JSOn message

You will find the data being modified in the output.

Don't set msg variable because this is system variable which is contain XML type format. If you want to use JSON object then create new global/local variable to set JSON object. And one more things your "object" variable should be JSON object – Leatherback

As Per @Debugger, If some one want json file as input/Source then try this solution.

Mirth channel

• Inbound Datatype as delimited text

• Outbound DataType as Javascript

Make JavaScript Type of Destination and Write below code in Transformer:

//Create Json Object From JSON string.
var objJson = JSON.parse(messageObject.getRawData());

logger.info(objJson.propertyName);

Input:

{"mrn":"1001","firstName":"COLLEEN","lastName":"OHALLAHAN","dob":"19850704","ssn":"123456789"}

Output:

logger.info(objJson.firstName);

COLLEEN

Note:

Use connectorMessage.getRawData() instead of messageObject.getRawData() for Mirth 3.0+ version.

To receive JSON as Input in mirth channel, set inbound datatype as delimited text and in channel pre processor create Json object from received message and return the json object.

use the json object to get the details and store in some variables and use DB writer to save in db. To build hl7 message, mirth provides few functions such as createSegment(seg name, index) to easily build your own hl7 message.
