Hello

I am currently working on sending persons, enrolling them and creating
events with DHIS2 2.14 api.

I have a question regarding information hiding.

Below you can see an example of a json im using for creating events. My
question is why I have to use codes for the dataelements such as:
"X1jze6oL3CJ",
This seems to be internal DHIS2 codes and using them would be against the
principle of information hiding. Is this a shortcoming of DHIS2 or am I
using the API wrongly?

Thanks.
