Modules & artifacts
In 0.4.0 and later, the library has been divided into smaller modules. These modules can be added to a project based on requirement.
Group Id: com.bloxbean.cardano
For simple setup, you can use cardano-client-lib and one of the backend provider as dependency.
| Modules | Artifact Id | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cardano-client-lib | cardano-client-lib | Includes core, function, cip and quicktx. Backend providers and the preview modules below are separate dependencies. (Recommended for most application) |
| Backend Api | cardano-client-backend | Defines backend apis which are implemented by provider specific module. |
| Blockfrost Backend | cardano-client-backend-blockfrost | Provides integration with Blockfrost |
| Koios Backend | cardano-client-backend-koios | Provides integration with Koios |
| Ogmios/Kupo Backend | cardano-client-backend-ogmios | Provides integration with Ogmios and Kupo. Supported Apis : submitTransaction, evaluateTx, Kupo support (UtxoService) |
For fine-grained dependency management, add one or more below modules as required.
