Faster Binder

A Java lib which binds POJO/Config class with a JSON/YML properties in an easy way. API is built on top of Reflection. Means, It will throw exceptions on load class load rather than be throwing null pointer exception at runtime.

Dependencies

• jackson-databind-2.2.3
• jackson-dataformat-yaml-2.3.0
• json-path-2.2.0

How to use

It's very simple to use. Just create a POJO class with @PropBinder, @FieldBinder annotation.

1. @PropBinder: Annotation is to tell compiler that given class can be use to bind properties. It accept 2 parameter. a). path, Absolute path of the JSON/YAML file. b). type, To tell what kind file binder needs to be done. Currently API supports only JSON and YAML file.
2. @FieldBinder Annotation is to tell comple that given fields will be bind to given properties file. It accept one parameter key, Here key tells key value needs to be bind. It supports json-path expressions.

• With fat jar, Import faster-binder\dist\faster-binder-1.0.2.jar
• Without fat jar, Import faster-binder\dist\faster-binder-basic-1.0.2.jar (with above mentioned dependency jars)

Example: faster-binder/examples

//CustomClass.java: POJO class
import org.fasterbinder.xdeepakv.FasterBinder;
import org.fasterbinder.xdeepakv.annotations.FieldBinder;
import org.fasterbinder.xdeepakv.annotations.PropBinder;

//Resource Path Name and type
@PropBinder(path = "./configs/test.json", type = PropBinder.PropBinderType.JSON)
public class CustomClass {
    @FieldBinder(key = "$.app.endpoint")
    public String endpoint;

    @FieldBinder(key = "$.app.intval")
    public int intval;

    //Do nothing with it
    public int intval2;

    @FieldBinder(key = "$.app.doubleval")
    public Double doubleval;

    public CustomClass() {
        FasterBinder.build(this);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "CustomClass{" +
                "endpoint='" + endpoint + '\'' +
                ", intval=" + intval +
                ", intval2=" + intval2 +
                ", doubleval=" + doubleval +
                '}';
    }
}

//Test Class:
package examples;
public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CustomClass c = new CustomClass();
        System.out.println(c);
        System.out.println("endpoint:"+ c.endpoint);
    }
}

/**
* Output:
* CustomClass{endpoint='http://test.com', intval=12, intval2=0, doubleval=1.3}
* endpoint:http://test.com
*/

How to compile and run given example

cd examples
javac -cp "../dist/faster-binder-1.0.3.jar" CustomClass.java
javac -cp "../dist/faster-binder-1.0.3.jar:." Demo.java
