Lombok VS Apache POI

The above class maps the json data to a java object we can work with. We use Lombok to generate constructors, getters and setters for our code and the Jackson Project to handle serialization and deserialization of json to pojo . We know the response is an array of objects representing the coffee and so above data structure is fit for this. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

Lombok is a widely used library that simplifies Java code. The @NonNull annotation helps enforce non-null parameters, generating appropriate null checks:. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

Funny enough; /u/rzwitserloot is the author of Lombok, one of the most widely used Java libraries in the world. So it's not really some kind of random-ass Redditor they're having a discussion with either. Source: about 1 year ago

This removes the need to add the 'Project Lombok' library (and going through a phase of installing it in your Eclipse IDE; old school devs know what I am talking about) and speeds up development time. Java 14 added a new feature of 'Records' which allows you to do the same, but it doesn't offer a 'copy' method to ease your object creation and also enforces the 'final' keyword for variables making them immutable. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

I get the main criticisms of Java, i.e. Its verbosity and the requirement for a lot of boilerplate code, and understand why some people switched to Kotlin. But by using libraries such as lombok you can get rid of most of it and suddenly the incentives for switching aren't that big anymore. And in the end it's all JVM bytecode anyways.

Recently I needed to write an Azure Function app that uses the Apache POI library for getting the text from Microsoft Word 94 documents (and yes, I am fully aware that the year is currently 2024, but some people still have 30 year old documents kicking around!). - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

I need to add the apache poi to my project (I need hssf, ss and xssf). I downloaded a jar file from the internet but it does not contain xssf. I went to http://poi.apache.org/ and I downloaded this: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/release/src/poi-src-3.9-20121203.zip, I extract it..and got stucked. I tried Part 1 but that was only for JavaDoc. Source: about 1 year ago

- Using Ports to call CLIs that take care of this (e.g. Poppler for PDFs, Libreoffice in `--headless` mode) - Use jInterface to startup a JVM with Apache POI to work on this specific workflow (I have an example here to work with Java Image API). You can also do this with other languages (Golang , Python and other). Source: over 1 year ago

If you can use third party libraries, you can look at Apache POI (https://poi.apache.org/). It allows you to read, write and manipulate Excel and CSV files. Source: over 1 year ago

Java may be boring to work with, but its power, maturity and ecosystem is unparalleled. I don't remember the PDF library (there are many), but Office stuff used Apache POI. Source: over 1 year ago
