Docker Client for JVM
A Docker HTTP client for the Java VM written in Groovy and Kotlin, supporting all Docker API endpoints.
What is Docker Client for JVM?
Docker Client is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) library written in Groovy that provides programmatic access to the Docker Engine API. It serves as a thin wrapper for HTTP requests, enabling developers to interact with Docker daemons across all major platforms without relying on the official Docker CLI binary. The library minimizes manual configuration for TLS and authentication while offering full control over API interactions.
JVM developers (using Java, Groovy, or other JVM languages) who need to integrate Docker operations into their applications, such as those building CI/CD pipelines, container management tools, or Gradle plugins that automate Docker tasks.
Developers choose this library for its comprehensive API coverage, cross-platform native support, and minimal abstraction layer that provides direct access to raw HTTP responses from the Docker daemon. It automatically respects standard Docker environment variables, reducing configuration overhead compared to manually handling TLS and authentication.
