FairCom DB Java Driver for the JSON DB API

The Java driver makes it easy to use FairCom's JSON APIs . It combines the Jackson JSON library with a few Java classes to send JSON over HTTPS to FairCom's JSON APIs , such as the JSON DB API.

The DbApi class provides methods to manage FairCom DB. It makes it easy to learn and manage FairCom DB from within a Java application.

The AdminApi class provides methods to administer a FairCom server.

The driver's source code is part of the downloadable Faircom server package. It is located in <faircomInstallationFolder>/drivers/java.json.db/. The source code is well-documented and supports code completion. You can read the JavaDoc here.
