Are there any libraries that can be used to parse an HL7 messages in Java (Instead of writing all String parsing by hand)

I have been looking already at HAPI which seems to be doing that. But are there some other alternatives to simplify my Java programming handling HL7 messages?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a free API written in Java to parse HL7 messages, HAPI is where you should look at first. http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/

Most people having requirements similar to what you listed use it.
