jbibx

A Java library for reading and writing .bibx files.

Compatible with Java 7+.

What's it good for?

.bibx is rBiblia's custom format for storing Bible translations. It's based on open standards (XML and gzip) and very simple.

This library brings .bibx into the Java world. It completely automates serialization and deserialization of .bibx files.

Usage

First, add it to your project. For Gradle, add a repository and dependency to build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.rBiblia:jbibx:master-SNAPSHOT'
}

For other build systems, see instructions on JitPack.io.

Then, to load a .bibx file:

Bible bible = new BibxSerde().deserialize(new File("SomeBible.bibx"));

To write a bible to a file:

new BibxSerde.serialize(bible, new File("SomeBible.bibx"))

Bible class and its relatives are immutable, so if you want to edit existing translations, you'll have to allocate new ones.
