bundle-converter

Java library allowing easy conversion between .properties and .xlsx file formats.

Basic usage

There is an example commandline application project which shows the basic usage of the bundle-converter API: bundle-converter-cmd. Explore the code to learn-by-example.

Why would I even use it?

1. Easy documentation maintenance.
   Keep and manage all the texts used accross your application in a single file. All you have to do is just to convert your .properties files after a new release.
2. Popular file format.
   .xlsx files can be easily managed and are also well-known by most PC users, possibly: your clients. They will appreciate to always have the insight into what they see in the application and in case some text required to be corrected, their corrections could be done almost without any effort. After that, all you have to do is just to convert the .xlsx back to .properties and commit the changes.

Building

• On Windows: gradlew.bat build
