# GVariant for Java
This library provides a [GVariant][] parser in pure Java.
## Overview
`jgvariant-core` provides `Decoder<T>`, which read a given type of
GVariant-encoded value from a [ByteBuffer][]. The class also contains
factory methods to acquire those instances.
The various subclasses of `Decoder` together implement the [GVariant
serialization][] specification.
`jgvariant-ostree` provides instances of `Decoder<T>` for various
[GVariant][] types used in [OSTree][] repositories.
## Example
To parse a [GVariant][] value of type `"a(si)"`, which is an array of
pairs of [String][] and `int`, you can use the following code:
record ExampleRecord(String s, int i) {}
var decoder =
Decoder.ofArray(
Decoder.ofStructure(
ExampleRecord.class,
Decoder.ofString(StandardCharsets.UTF_8),
Decoder.ofInt().withByteOrder(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN)));
byte[] bytes = ...;
List<ExampleRecord> example = decoder.decode(ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes));
## Command line tool
The `jgvariant-tool` module contains a tool called `jgvariant` that can
be used to manipulate [GVariant][]-formatted files from the command line.
Its primary purpose is to enable the scripting of [OSTree][] repository
management tasks.
Usage example (dumping the contents of an [OSTree][] summary file):
$ jgvariant ostree summary read ./jgvariant-ostree/src/test/resources/ostree/summary
Output:

You can build the tool either as a shaded JAR or as a native executable.
To build and run a shaded JAR:
$ mvn package -pl jgvariant-tool -am -Pshade
$ java -jar /home/mulk/Arbeitskasten/jgvariant/jgvariant-tool/target/jgvariant-tool-*.jar
To build and run a native executable:
$ mvn package -pl jgvariant-tool -am -Pnative
$ ./jgvariant-tool/target/jgvariant
