Class: FhircastConnection

A class representing a FHIRcast connection.

FhircastConnection extends EventTarget and emits 3 lifecycle events:

1. connect - An event to signal when a WebSocket connection has been opened. Fired as soon as a WebSocket emits open.
2. message - Contains a payload field containing a FHIRcast message payload exactly as it comes in over WebSockets.
3. disconnect - An event to signal when a WebSocket connection has been closed. Fired as soon as a WebSocket emits close.

To close the connection, call connection.disconnect() and listen to the disconnect event to know when the connection has been disconnected.
