Salt API client library for Java

[Johannes Renner]

Hello Salt users,

at SUSE we are working with Salt and one of the recent outcomes of that is a Java library that can be used to easily connect any Java program to SaltStack (via the API):

https://github.com/SUSE/saltstack-netapi-client-java

There are two releases so far, most of the netapi endpoints are covered by the current code, please see the Javadoc (1).

I hope this is useful for someone. Please let me know what you think and of course feel free to help us improving and extending the code by sending your pull requests.

Best regards,
Johannes

Hello, Cosmic Interlooper!

Don't worry, I am glad to help you (hopefully). Unfortunately we are currently not aware of any repos with example code, please let us know if there is any! We will provide some example code within the project soon, we are just not there yet as you can see. This is also because the API is currently still under development and subject to change from time to time.

Working with the library is very easy though: just create an instance of the SaltStackClient class and start working with it. Please have a look at the Javadoc for SaltStackClient to find out what you can do. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Regards,
Johannes
