API Common for Java

🚌 In January 2023, this library has moved to gapic-generator-java/api-common-java. This repository will be archived in the future. Future releases will appear in the new repository (https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-java/releases). The Maven artifact coordinates (com.google.api:api-common) remain the same.

• Documentation

API Common for Java is a library for foundational types relating to Google APIs. It currently contains the following packages:

• core: Core library containing API stability annotations and wrappers around Guava types
• pathtemplate: Path Template library for manipulating strings that are formatted as Google API resource names.
• resourcenames: Resource Name library used by generated resource name types

For new and existing Developers/ Contributors:

In December 2022, api-common-java's build tool has been migrated from gradle to maven. Gradle related files are no longer being maintained and will be removed.

The artifact coordinates in Maven Central ({{ group_id }}:{{ artifact_id }}) remain the same.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning, but with some additional qualifications:

1. Components marked with @BetaApi are considered to be "0.x" features inside a "1.x" library. This means they can change between minor and patch releases in incompatible ways. These features should not be used by any library "B" that itself has consumers, unless the components of library B that use @BetaApi features are also marked with @BetaApi. Features marked as @BetaApi are on a path to eventually become "1.x" features with the marker removed.
2. Components marked with @InternalApi are technically public, but are only public for technical reasons, because of the limitations of Java's access modifiers. For the purposes of semver, they should be considered private.

This library is currently in major version one (1.y.z), which means that any public API not specifically marked as @BetaApi or @InternalApi can be considered stable. They will not change without incrementing the major version to 2.x or later, and probably not then.
