docker-java-api
A lightweight, object-oriented Java library for interacting with the Docker Engine API.
What is docker-java-api?
docker-java-api is a lightweight Java library that provides programmatic access to the Docker Engine API, serving as the Java equivalent of the Docker command-line client. It offers an object-oriented, fluent interface for managing Docker images, containers, and other resources. The library is designed to be minimal and conflict-free, making it suitable for integration into various Java applications without runtime issues.
Java developers who need to interact with Docker Engine programmatically within their applications, particularly those working in environments where dependency conflicts are a concern, such as Java EE platforms. It is also aimed at developers seeking a clean, API-focused alternative to heavier Docker SDKs.
Developers choose docker-java-api for its lightweight design with minimal transitive dependencies, reducing conflicts with other frameworks. Its unique selling point is its focus on being a true API rather than an SDK, providing clean abstractions and a fluent, intuitive interface for Docker operations, along with built-in Unix socket support.
