SpaceAPI Parser for Kotlin/Java

This is a parser library written in Kotlin that can be used from Kotlin and Java.

The parser is quite lenient, so it will ignore unknown fields, should be able to deal with multiple versions and will sometimes even parse invalid endpoint JSON. Additionally, in most cases, values with a fixed set of allowed values is parsed as String, not as enum. (If you need strict validation, use a JSON schema based validator instead!)

API Version Support

This library supports parsing any valid JSON file using the following schema version:

v0.13
v14

Note: Endpoints using versions 0.12 and older are not supported, they will result in a ParseError being thrown.

Installing

Gradle

First, ensure that the Maven Central repository is added to the gradle config:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

Then, add the dependency to your build.gradle:

implementation 'io.github.spaceapi-community:spaceapi-kt:0.6.1'

Usage

Kotlin

import io.spaceapi.parseString

// ...

val parsed = parseString("{...}")

Java

import io.spaceapi.SpaceApiParser;
import io.spaceapi.types.Status;

// ...

final Status parsedStatus = SpaceApiParser.parseString("{...}");

Building

To build a JAR file, run:

./gradlew build

The resulting JAR files can be found in the build/libs/ directory.

Testing

Unit Tests

Run the following command to run the unit tests:

./gradlew test

Directory Parser

In the src/test/kotlin/io/spaceapi/ directory there's a DirectoryParser.kt program that can be executed. It fetches all directory endpoints and tests whether the endpoint can be deserialized. If not, an error message is printed.

Manual testing

Create a local publication (usually at $HOME/.m2/repository/):

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Include it in your project like this:

repositories {
    ...
    mavenLocal()
}
