Developer's Documentation

SVNKit API (javadoc) Generated Java Documentation for API packages which include: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.io - contains a low-level API for direct interacting with an SVN repository. org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc - contains a high-level API for managing Working Copies. This package represents client classes which functionality is similar to the native SVN command line client. org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.xml - provides a set of log, status & blame handlers that output information to an org.xml.sax.ContentHandler. org.tmatesoft.svn.core - common package that contains interfaces and classes used by the low-level API as well as the high-level one. The following separate packages are the base set of interfaces and classes used by SVNKit for authentication and delta (versioned context changes) managing purposes: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.auth - contains interfaces and classes used for authentication purposes by the low-level API as well as the high-level one. org.tmatesoft.svn.core.io.diff - contains interfaces and classes used for text/properties delta generating, manipulating, etc. And yet one package for a javahl replacement: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.javahl - contains an implementation of SVNClientInterface to use instead of the native SVN binding - SVNClient. This implementation uses the SVNKit library.

Library Usage Examples Here you can find several example programs demonstrating how to use both low- and high-level APIs. The left-hand frame contains names of example program files which are read from the repository. The right-hand frame will show you highlighted source code for example programs as you click on file links.
