SemVerTools

This is a Java library providing tooling for semantic versioning.

Currently, it can mainly parse and compare valid semver strings.

Example Usage

To check if an update is available for a program, library, framework, etc., it is a common approach to compare the versions, given as strings.

With SemVerTools, this is as easy as doing

String thisVersion = ...;
String remoteVersion = ...;
SemanticVersion current = SemanticVersion.parse(thisVersion);
SemanticVersion next = SemanticVersion.parse(remoteVersion);
if (next.succeeds(current)) {
    System.out.println("New version available: " + next);
}

Using this library

Gradle

repositories {
    maven {
        url = uri("https://eldonexus.de/repository/maven-public")
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("de.eldoria", "semvertools", "{version}")
}
