Imaging: a Pure-Java Image Library</h2> <p> Apache Commons Imaging, previously known as Apache Commons Sanselan, is a library that reads and writes a variety of image formats, including fast parsing of image info (size, color space, ICC profile, etc.) and metadata. </p> <p> This library is pure Java. Compared to typical image I/O libraries in native code, it's more portable, and should be more reliable and more secure against corrupt/malicious images, yet still performs reasonably well. It's easier to use than ImageIO/JAI/java.awt.Toolkit (Sun/Java's image support), supports more formats (and supports them more correctly). It also provides easy access to metadata. </p> <p> Imaging was working and was used by a number of projects in production even before reaching its initial release as an Apache Commons component. </p> <p> This project is Open Source; free as in freedom and free as in beer. It is available under the ASF (Apache) License. This is a non-viral Open Source license. </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li><a href="whyimaging.html">Why Use Commons Imaging?</a></li> <li><a href="gettingstarted.html">Getting Started</a></li> </ul> </section> <section> <h2><a name="Documentation"></a>Documentation</h2> <p> A getting started <a href="gettingstarted.html">guide</a> is available together with various <a href="project-reports.html">project reports</a>. </p> <p> The Javadoc API documents are available online: </p> <ul> <li>The <a href="apidocs/index.html">latest API docs</a></li> <li>Older releases - see the <a href="history.html">Release History</a> page</li> </ul> <p> The <a href="scm.html">source repository</a> can be <a class="externalLink" href="https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-imaging.git">browsed</a>, or you can browse/contribute via <a class="externalLink" href="https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging">GitHub</a>. </p> </section> <section> <h2><a name="Release_Information"></a>Release Information</h2> <section> <h3><a name="Help_Needed.21"></a>Help Needed!</h3> If you want to help out you may: <ul> <li>Look through the <a class="externalLink" href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20IMAGING%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Patch%20Needed%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC">issues waiting for a patch</a></li> <li>Look through the <i>Needs Work</i> tags in the <a href="taglist.html">TagList report</a></li> <li>Contribute a patch</li> <li>Create a PR via <a class="externalLink" href="https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging">Github</a></li> </ul> Make sure to read through our <a class="externalLink" href="https://commons.apache.org/patches.html">guide lines for contributing patches</a> before you start coding.
