one.irradia.opds1_2

Features

• Efficient and strict parsing of OPDS 1.2 feeds
• Extensible parser for consuming extension data inserted into feeds in a type-safe manner
• Explicit support for registering parser extensions via ServiceLoader
• Parsed feeds exposed as immutable and persistent data types for correctness and thread-safety
• ISC license
• High coverage automated test suite
• OSGi-ready

Building

Install the Android SDK. The package has no dependencies on the Android API and is therefore usable in non-Android projects.

$ ./gradlew clean assemble check

If the above fails, it's a bug. Report it!

Using

Use the following Maven or Gradle dependencies, replacing ${LATEST_VERSION_HERE} with whatever is the latest version published to Maven Central:

<!-- API -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>one.irradia.opds1_2</groupId>
  <artifactId>one.irradia.opds1_2.api</artifactId>
  <version>${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Parser API -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>one.irradia.opds1_2</groupId>
  <artifactId>one.irradia.opds1_2.parser.api</artifactId>
  <version>${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Default implementation -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>one.irradia.opds1_2</groupId>
  <artifactId>one.irradia.opds1_2.parser.vanilla</artifactId>
  <version>${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}</version>
</dependency>

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

implementation "one.irradia.opds1_2:one.irradia.opds1_2.api:${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}"
implementation "one.irradia.opds1_2:one.irradia.opds1_2.parser.api:${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}"
implementation "one.irradia.opds1_2:one.irradia.opds1_2.parser.vanilla:${LATEST_VERSION_HERE}"

Library code is encouraged to depend only upon the API package in order to give consumers the freedom to use other implementations of the API if desired.

Extensions

Most real-life OPDS feeds contain metadata expressed as values taken from XML schemas outside of the core OPDS schema. The one.irradia.opds1_2 package exposes this extra data by requiring consumers to opt-in to extension data collection by specifying a list of extension parsers when parsing OPDS feeds. Extension data that cannot be consumed by any extension parser is silently ignored. As an example, if a user wants to parse a feed and wants to receive any Dublin Core metadata that may be included:

val parsers : OPDS12FeedParserProviderType

val parser =
  this.parsers.createParser(
    uri = URI.create("urn:example"),
    stream = open("feed.xml"),
    extensionEntryParsers = listOf(OPDSDublinFeedParsers()),
    extensionParsers = listOf(OPDS12DublinFeedEntryParsers()))

val result = parser.parse()

Assuming that parsing succeeds, the Dublin Core metadata can be accessed by filtering the list of extension values for values of type one.irradia.opds1_2.dublin.OPDS12DublinCoreValue:

val extensions =
  result.extensions.filterIsInstance(OPDS12DublinCoreValue::class.java)

Consult the documentation for each extension parser to see what types of values can be returned.
