One might think that in a system whose primary function is dealing with HL7 messages, that the EasyHL7Message object would be the most important, but that's not the case. The HL7Vendor object is what operates at the center of the EasyHL7 universe! The EasyHL7Message object uses the HL7Vendor object to get HL7 structure and definition information about how to create and read HL7 messages. The HL7FileAnalyzer object uses the HL7Vendor object to get information about what to expect when analyzing HL7 data files (like the BOM and EOM characters).
