Prism Config

A lightweight config library for Java to let you write your config elegantly and flexibly.

Getting Started

For users, Prism Config can be installed as a Fabric mod natively as it includes a fabric.mod.json, but it is mostly for JiJ, and the mod itself is actually just a normal Java library, so it can theoretically run on any Minecraft version with any loader. However, support for specific mods, like Mod Menu, is planned.

For developers, to add Prism Config to your project, you need to add following into your build.gradle(.kts):

Groovy DSL:

repositories {
    // ...
    maven {
        name = "Nova Committee - Release"
        url = "https://maven.nova-committee.cn/releases/"
    }
    maven {
        name = "Nova Committee - Snapshot"
        url = "https://maven.nova-committee.cn/snapshots/"
    }
}

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation "io.github.prismwork:prismconfig:0.2.0:all"
    // Or use the slim jar if you have the libraries included in your project (Gson, Jankson...)
    // implementation "io.github.prismwork:prismconfig:0.2.0"
}

Kotlin DSL:

repositories {
    // ...
    maven {
        name = "Nova Committee - Release"
        url = uri("https://maven.nova-committee.cn/releases/")
    }
    maven {
        name = "Nova Committee - Snapshot"
        url = uri("https://maven.nova-committee.cn/snapshots/")
    }
}

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("io.github.prismwork:prismconfig:0.2.0:all")
    // Or use the slim jar if you have the libraries included in your project (Gson, Jankson...)
    // implementation("io.github.prismwork:prismconfig:0.2.0")
}

Prism Config by default provides serializers and deserializers for JSON (Gson), JSON5 (Jankson) and TOML 0.4.0 (toml4j).

To parse a config from string into object, you can do this:

String content;
MyConfig config = PrismConfig.getInstance().serialize(
        MyConfig.class,
        content,
        DefaultSerializers.getInstance().json5(MyConfig.class) // We assume that your config is written in JSON5
);

To parse a config from object into string, you can do this:

MyConfig content;
String config = PrismConfig.getInstance().deserialize(
        MyConfig.class,
        content,
        DefaultDeserializers.getInstance().json5(MyConfig.class) // We assume that your config is written in JSON5
);

You can also write it to a file:

MyConfig content;
File configFile;
PrismConfig.getInstance().deserializeAndWrite(
        MyConfig.class,
        content,
        DefaultDeserializers.getInstance().json5(MyConfig.class), // We assume that your config is written in JSON5
        configFile
);

To write your own serializer/deserializer, you can use the following code (we use serializing as an example):

String content;
PrismConfig.getInstance().serialize(
        MyConfig.class,
        content,
        (string) -> {
            // Do your own parsing here
        }
);
