My API
WARNING: Geeks only. (Persistent Link on the left hand side)
I have been doing an excessive amount of coding lately, for both work and for personal things and I found that I use the same handful of JAVA methods in sequence to perform many tasks. Specifically around persisting/converting data.
So in an effort to make my life easier I created a series of String and File utilities that I can call to avoid having to copy/paste and adjust dozens of lines of code.
The API is generic and mostly Object agnostic. I went through and fully documented all the methods, and I also overloaded many of the methods for the base case and specific cases.
I am posting it online here for people to use.:
I think eventually this will be “open source” in the sense I will let people add to it, but for the time being I’ll just see if anyone actually has an interest in it.
*Although not fully tested, There is a DLL version of this API. The DLL was generated using a neat little utility called IKVM. The ability to convert JARs to DLLs is really useful!
You can run the Test Class by executing “java -jar util_api_1.0.jar”
This requires Java 6.
Anyway, Please feel free to download and check out. Suggestions/Comments welcome.
