Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The mission of KivaKit is to accelerate the development of Java software through the use of integrated, modular, object-oriented design.
KivaKit extends the JDK to provide quick and easy solutions to common everyday software problems. It does this by providing new abstractions and APIs, and by simplifying existing APIs.
KivaKit is composed of a number of nested sub-projects that are Java 11+ modules. These modules address different areas of concern in developing Java applications. The resources below will help you to get started.
KivaKit is designed for use in everyday software development. KivaKit APIs work together through a set of common interfaces and components to provide a consistent and powerful development experience. Documentation and examples are provided, but much of KivaKit's functionality can also be discovered with class searching and autocomplete, because it was designed to be used in that way.
KivaKit is a collection of bite-sized Java development mini-frameworks that play well together. Using one part of KivaKit makes using other parts easier. Work with just the parts you need.
KivaKit accelerates development and makes code simpler, safer and clearer. KivaKit increases modularity and code reuse.
KivaKit helps you to:
- Discover and connect components and services
- Encapsulate components and decrease tight coupling
- Configure components, applications and web servers
- Access local and network resources uniformly
- Convert arguments, switches and textual data into objects
- Validate, serialize and log data of all kinds
The kivakit-examples project contains useful, working examples of use cases for KivaKit.
