FPL 0.1.0

FPL 0.1.0 is the initial release of FHIR Package Loader (FPL), a library for downloading FHIR packages locally and loading its definitions into memory. This library can be used within JavaScript or TypeScript projects, or it can be used through a Command Line Interface (CLI). For more details on the arguments and options available on the command line, see the README. FPL also provides an API, which can be used to download packages programmatically. For more information on how to use the API, see the README.

The initial release provides an initial implementation for downloading packages, but it is subject to change in future releases.

To install FPL, first install Node.js, then run:

npm install -g fhir-package-loader

After installing fhir-package-loader, fpl should be in your path:

$ fpl --help
