Java
The Java library is com.getlingara:lingara-java on Maven Central. It needs Java 17 or later and uses the JDK’s own java.net.http.HttpClient, with Jackson for JSON.
How it reads
- Calls are synchronous. For many at once, run them on virtual threads or an executor.
- A stream is an
EventStream, which is bothIterableandAutoCloseable: read it with aforloop inside try-with-resources. Events are records under a sealed interface, so aswitchover them is exhaustive. - To cancel, interrupt the thread or call
close()from another thread. The call then throwsCancellationException, which is not one of the library’s errors. - Errors extend
LingaraException, an unchecked exception.retryAfter()returns anOptional<Duration>. - Build a client with
LingaraClient.builder(). A call that does not stream has no timeout until you setrequestTimeout.
The samples below add the dependency, create a client, stream a vocabulary list and handle an error.
