          . The only way for client to find out what versions a server supports in this fashion
           is the $versions operation. The client invokes the operation with no parameters. and the
           server returns the list of supported versions, along with the default version it will
           use if no fhirVersion parameter is present
        

      
      
      
      
        
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
      
      
    
  
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
      
      
    
    
      
      
    
  
  Using the [FHIR Version Mime Type Parameter](http.html#version-parameter), a server can
   support [multiple versions on the same end-point](versioning.html#mt-version). The only
   way for client to find out what versions a server supports in this fashion is the $versions
   operation. The client invokes the operation with no parameters. and the server returns
   the list of supported versions, along with the default version it will use if no fhirVersion
   parameter is present
