## Deprecation warning

This java client is no longer usable in the new Chrysalis network.
Please use the Java bindings generated for iota.rs.
They can be found [here](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota.rs/tree/dev/bindings/java)

## About

This was the **official** Java client library, which allows you to do the following:

* Create transactions
* Read transactions
* Sign transactions
* Generate addresses

This is beta software, so there may be performance and stability issues.
Please report any issues in our [issue tracker](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota-java/issues/new/choose).

## Prerequisites

To use the IOTA Java client library, your computer must have the following minimum requirement:

* Java 6 (or higher)

## Installation

The IOTA Java client library is available on [**jitpack.io**][jitpack].

To install the IOTA Java client library and its dependencies, you can use one of the following options:

* Download the library with Gradle
* Download the library with Maven
* Download the library manually

### Gradle

1. Add the following repository to your root `build.gradle` file (**not** your module `build.gradle` file):

```gradle
    allprojects {
        repositories {
            maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }
    }
    ```

2. Add the following dependency to your module `build.gradle` file:

```gradle
    dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.iotaledger:iota-java:1.0.0-beta8'
    }
    ```
    
### Maven

#### Through Maven central
1. Add the following repository to your root `pom.xml` file:
    ```xml
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.iota</groupId>
        <artifactId>jota</artifactId>
        <classifier>jar-with-dependencies</classifier>
        <version>1.0.0-beta9</version>
    </dependency>
    ```

#### Through Jitpack

1. Add the following repository to your root `pom.xml` file:
    ```xml
    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>jitpack.io</id>
            <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
    ```

2. Add the following dependency to your module `pom.xml` file:
    ```xml
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.iotaledger.iota-java</groupId>
        <artifactId>jota</artifactId>
        <classifier>jar-with-dependencies</classifier>
        <version>[VERSION_INFORMATION]</version>
    </dependency>
    ```
    
3. Change the value of the `<version>` tag to either a release number or the first 10 characters of a Git commit hash:
`<version>b703ef3c05f05</version>` or `<version>1.0.0-beta9</version>`

**Note:** Find the latest version on the [Jitpack](https://jitpack.io/#iotaledger/iota-java) page.

### Manual installation

1. Clone or download the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota-java).

Inside the project, you'll have the following directories:
    * jota
    * jota-parent

2. Import and reference the jota directory in your project
For example in Eclipse: `right mouse on your project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Projects -> Add 'jota'`

3. In the jota directory, run the following command:

`mvn clean install`

You'll have a .jar file called `jota-[VERSION]-jar-with-dependencies.jar`, depending on your version of the library.

## Getting Started

After you've [installed the library](#installation), you can connect to an IRI node to send transactions to it and interact with the Tangle.
An extended guide can be found on our [documentation portal](https://docs.iota.org/docs/client-libraries/0.1/getting-started/java-quickstart), we strongly recommend you to go here for starting off. A quick start tutorial is shown below.

To connect to a local IRI node on port 14265, do the following:

```java
IotaAPI api = new IotaAPI.Builder().build();
GetNodeInfoResponse response = api.getNodeInfo();
```

To connect to a remote IRI node on port 14265, do the following:

```java
IotaAPI api = new IotaAPI.Builder()
        .protocol("http")
        .host("URL OF THE REMOTE IRI NODE")
        .port(14265)
        .build();
GetNodeInfoResponse response = api.getNodeInfo();
```

**Note:** To separate your IRI node configuration from the implementation, you can also specify your IRI node configuration in a [**Java `.properties` file**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties) or as command line flags. These options are useful if you develop an open-source app which is deployed on a CI and don't want contributors to see the internal IRI node configuration.
To make the API read from this file, add the configuration to the builder like so: `.config(new FileConfig("node_config.properties"))`

**Example .properties files**

```java
iota.node.protocol=http
iota.node.host=127.0.0.1
iota.node.port=14265
```

Most API calls are **synchronous**. Therefore, we recommend that you call the API from a background thread or a worker thread to stop the API from blocking other threads such as the UI or the main thread.

## API Reference

## Examples

We have a list of test cases in the [`src/test/java` directory][tests] that you can use as a reference when developing apps with IOTA.
A good starter is the [`IotaAPITest` case](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota-java/blob/master/jota/src/test/java/org/iota/jota/IotaAPITest.java).

Here's how you could send a zero-value transaction, using the library. For the guide, see the [documentation portal](https://docs.iota.org/docs/client-libraries/0.1/how-to-guides/java/send-your-first-bundle).

```java
class SendData {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ArgumentException {

// Connect to a node
        IotaAPI api = new IotaAPI.Builder()
            .protocol("https")
            .host("nodes.devnet.thetangle.org")
            .port(443)
            .build();

int depth = 3;
        int minimumWeightMagnitude = 9;

// Even though a seed is not necessary because zero value transactions are not signed,
        // the library requires a seed to send a transaction.
        // This seed can be any random string of 81 trytes
        String myRandomSeed = SeedRandomGenerator.generateNewSeed();

// Define any security level (like the seed, this is not used)
        int securityLevel = 2;

// Define an address.
        // This does not need to belong to anyone or have IOTA tokens.
        // It must only contain a maximum of 81 trytes
        // or 90 trytes with a valid checksum
        String address = "ZLGVEQ9JUZZWCZXLWVNTHBDX9G9KZTJP9VEERIIFHY9SIQKYBVAHIMLHXPQVE9IXFDDXNHQINXJDRPFDXNYVAPLZAW";
        // This is a zero-value transaction
        int value = 0;
        // Define a message to send.
        // This message must include only ASCII characters.
        String message = TrytesConverter.asciiToTrytes("Hello world");
        String tag = "HELLOWORLD";

Transfer zeroValueTransaction = new Transfer(address, value, message, tag);
        
        ArrayList<Transfer> transfers = new ArrayList<Transfer>();

transfers.add(zeroValueTransaction);
        
        // Create a bundle from the transfers list
        // and send the transaction to the node
        try { 
            // Since we don't send any value, we can skip validation of inputs
            SendTransferResponse response = api.sendTransfer(myRandomSeed, securityLevel, depth, minimumWeightMagnitude, transfers, null, null, false, false, null);
            System.out.println(response.getTransactions());
        } catch (ArgumentException e) { 
            // Handle error
            e.printStackTrace(); 
         }
    }
}
```
