Grid

Grid is a Java library which provides a two-dimensional grid structure. A grid has a set of rows and columns. Each column can have a corresponding header. The grid implementation is annotated with Jackson annotations and can be rendered to JSON and XML using a Jackson renderer. A grid can be rendered to CSV using the GridUtils utility class.

Maven

You can use Grid with Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.hisp</groupId>
  <artifactId>grid</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Sample Usage

To create a grid and add a few headers and rows:

Grid grid = new ListGrid()
    .setTitle( "Clients" )
    .addHeader( new GridHeader( "Name", "name" ) )
    .addHeader( new GridHeader( "Email", "email" ) )
    .addHeader( new GridHeader( "Phone", "phone" ) );

for ( Person person : people )
{
    grid.addRow()
        .addValue( person.getName() )
        .addValue( person.getEmail() )
        .addValue( person.getPhone() );
}

Render to CSV (Writer retrieved e.g. from HttpServletResponse):

Writer writer = response.getWriter();
GridUtils.toCsv( grid, writer );
