Minion is a handy group-key-value data storage library, powered by INI format. Let you parse and store INI format. Designed with modern fluent interface.

Add dependency

compile 'com.tomclaw.minion:minion:1.0.1'

Create anync Minion for file

FileStorage storage = FileStorage.create(file);
Minion minion = Minion.lets()
        .load(storage)
        .and()
        .store(storage)
        .async(new ResultCallback() {

            void onReady(Minion minion) {
            	// Data successfully loaded.
            }

            void onFailure(Exception ex) {
            	// Something went wrond.
            }
        });

Save

Save data to specified storage.

minion.store();

Also, if you created Minion async, you may listen for operation result with callback.

minion.store(new ResultCallback() {

    void onReady(Minion minion) {
    	// Data successfully saved.
    }

    void onFailure(Exception ex) {
    	// Something went wrond.
    }
});

Parse INI from string

Parses INI from specified string synchronously.

Readable storage = StringStorage.create("[group]\nkey=value\nkey2=value2");
Minion minion = Minion.lets()
        .load(storage)
        .sync();

Set values for specified group and key

If no such group or key exist, they will be created.

minion.setValue("user", "name", "Michael");

It's also extremely easy to set an array of values.

minion.setValue("music", "genres", "Classical", "Lounge", "Dance", "Pop");

Get values for specified group and key

If no such group exist, it will be created.

String name = minion.getValue("user", "name");

Or you can obtain array of values.

String[] genres = genresminion.getValues("music", "genres");

Get all groups

Returns all group names.

Set<String> names = minion.getGroupNames();

Returns all groups with records.

List<IniGroup> groups = minion.getGroups();

Remove record

Of course, you may just simply remove key and value. Function removeRecord will return removed record. If it doesn't exist, method will return null.

IniRecord record = minion.removeRecord("user", "name");

Remove group

Minion allows to remove whole group of records too. Function removeGroup will return removed group with removed records. If it doesn't exist, method will return null.

IniGroup group = minion.removeGroup("music");

How it works

Minion based on stupidly simple plain-text INI format, it parses, compiles and deliver access blazingly fast. Library is extra-lightweight (~25Kb) and contain no any dependencies. You can use Minion to store some prefs or form-specific data. Simply than ever.
