# webp-imageio-core
forked from qwong/j-webp
Java Image I/O reader and writer for the Google WebP image format without system lib file.

In source program, coders need to put native lib files like .so/.dll/.dylib into the folder of `java.library.path`.

For easier to use, qwong/j-webp (bases on [webp project of Luciad](https://bitbucket.org/luciad/webp-imageio) 0.4.2) import [native-lib-loader](https://github.com/scijava/native-lib-loader) to load native lib files from project resource folder,   instead of `java.library.path`. (more details to see `com.luciad.imageio.webp.WebP.loadNativeLibrary`)

However, coders pefer using jar package instead of source java code in personal project. So I fork and edit qwong/j-webp to privide a usable jar. It is a fat jar includes dependencies and native lib file (includes windows/linux/mac both 32&64bit).

## Usage

Because it is not in maven repo,  so you have to put the jar file `webp-imageio-core-{version}.jar` into libs folder of your project manually.

if you use gradle, you can put it into `src/main/resource/libs`, and edit config file`build.gradle` to add local dependencies

```groovy
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir:'src/main/resources/libs',include:['*.jar'])
}
```

if you use maven, you can put it `${project.basedir}/libs`, and edit config file `pom.xml` to add local dependencies

```xml
<dependency>  
    <groupId>com.github.nintha</groupId>  
    <artifactId>webp-imageio-core</artifactId>  
    <version>{versoin}</version>  
    <scope>system</scope>  
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/libs/webp-imageio-core-{version}.jar</systemPath>  
</dependency>
```

The usage of api, you can see example cases in `src/main/java/example`.
