Semantic Version parsing

SemVer-J

A Java API for parsing and checking Semantic Versioning.

Features

• Version parsing
• Version comparison
• Compatibility check

What's to come

• Version adjustment (increment, build, tag, release);

Getting Started

The SemVer-J API is intended to be a standalone API for version comparison. No dependencies. You should depend on it ;)

Quickstart

Creating a new version

SemVer version = SemVer.of(1, 0, 0);

// Use the information
version.getMajor(); // 1
version.getMinor(); // 0
version.getPatch(); // 0

SemVer another = SemVer.parse("1.1.0");

// Version comparison
version.isNewerThan(another); // false
version.isOlderThan(another); // true
version.isCompatibleWith(another); // false
another.isCompatibleWith(version); // true

semver-j's Issues

API for version adjustment

Add ways to modify versions, based on true versioning requirements (pre-release software, release the stable version, tag a build, etc.).

The SemVer object is immutable and must continue to be, so every adjustment must result in a new object.
