Usage

Suppose you have the following .ini file:

# This is a comment
firstName = John

# Another comment
lastName = Doe

age = 25

1. Create your type and annotate fields as needed

import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.annotations.Property;

public class Person {
    @Property(name = "firstName")
    public String firstName;
    
    @Property(name = "lastName")
    public String lastName;
    
    @Property(name = "age")
    public int age;
}

2. Map the file to an instance of the object. Note that the class must have an empty-argument constructor.

import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.Jini;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Person person = Jini.load(".ini", Person.class);
        System.out.println("First Name: " + person.firstName);
    }
}

3. You can also extend the functionality of the library if you have custom types.

Suppose this is your .ini file

Title = CEO
person = John Doe/56

import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.Jini;
import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.annotations.Property;
import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.extenstion.MapException;
import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.extenstion.TypeMapper;
import lib.gintec_rdl.jini.extenstion.TypeMapperFactory;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
public class Example {
    
    public static class PersonMapper implements TypeMapper {
        @Override public void map(Object instance, Field field, String value)throws MapException {
            try{
                Person person = new Person();
                person.firstName = value.substring(0, value.indexOf(' '));
                person.lastName = value.substring(value.indexOf(' ')+1, value.indexOf('/'));
                person.age = Integer.valueOf(value.substring(value.indexOf('/')+1));
                field.set(instance, person);
            }catch (IllegalAccessException e){
                
            }
        }
    }
    
    public class Employee {
        @Property(name = "person", mapper = PersonMapper.class)
        public Person person;
        
        @Property(name = "Title")
        public String Title;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Employee employee = Jini.load(".ini", Employee.class);
    }
}
