Overview ======== IVOACore provides a set of modular Java libraries that implement the core functionality required to build IVOA-compliant services. The libraries target Java 17 and are built using Gradle. Design Goals ------------ The libraries are designed with the following goals in mind: * **Protocol Compliance**: Full implementation of IVOA standards including UWS, TAP, DALI, and VOSI. * **Decoupled from Web Frameworks**: Core logic is kept independent of any particular web framework or deployment model, making it easy to integrate into any Java service. * **Microservices Ready**: The architecture supports distributed, asynchronous deployments common in modern cloud-native services. * **Extensible**: Modules can be used independently or combined as needed. Building -------- The project is built with Gradle. To build all modules:: ./gradlew build To generate the complete documentation (Javadoc + Sphinx):: ./gradlew docs To generate only the aggregated Javadoc:: ./gradlew aggregateJavadoc Source Repository ----------------- The source code is hosted on GitHub at `https://github.com/Javastro/ivoacore `_. Versioning ---------- The project uses semantic versioning. Current development releases are published with the ``-SNAPSHOT`` suffix to the UKSRC Nexus repository.
