irods4j

Important

This project is not stable yet and may experience changes. Use of this library is encouraged.

A Java 17 client library designed for iRODS 4.3.2+.

This library provides a low-level API which exposes data types and functions seen in the iRODS C API. A high-level API is provided to ease use as well.

Features

• Supports SSL/TLS for secure communication
• Configurable socket options
• Minimum use of abstractions
• Easy to use / Easy to understand
• Enables patterns supported by the iRODS C/C++ APIs
• Supports PAM via the pam_password authentication scheme

Maven

The library is available via the Central Maven Repository.

To use it, add the following to your pom.xml file.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.irods</groupId>
    <artifactId>irods4j</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Note

A Java 8 compatible implementation of the library is also available.

See the java8 branch of this repository for the maven dependency coordinates.

Low-Level APIs

Important

Not all API operations are supported by the high-level APIs.

For those users needing more control, see IRODSApi.java for the available low-level APIs. The low-level APIs provided by this library mirror the design of the C API.

For proper usage, see the implementation of various high-level APIs and their C counterparts.

See the low-level unit tests for usage examples.
