ReleaseChecker

Easy and lightweight GitHub release parser written in Java using Gson and HTTPS Requests.

Example Usage:

// https://github.com/nats-io/nats.java
final ReleaseCheck releaseCheck = ReleaseCheckBuilder.builder()
    .setRepositoryOwner("nats-io")
    .setRepositoryName("nats.java")
    .build();

System.out.println("Latest version: " + releaseCheck.getLatestRelease().tagName());
System.out.println("Is a newer version available: " + releaseCheck.isNewerVersionAvailable("2.20.1"));

//You can also get all available releases using 'ReleaseCheck#getReleaseDataList()'

final int behindCount = releaseCheck.getBehindCount("2.20.1");

if (behindCount == -1) {
    System.out.println("There is no such tag.");
} else if (behindCount == 0) {
    System.out.println("You are using the latest version.");
} else {
    System.out.println("Your version is " + behindCount + " versions behind the latest.");
}

Output (since 19/10/2024):

Latest version: 2.20.2
Is a newer version available: true
Your version is 1 versions behind the latest.
