JLightning Client

Set of Java classes in development to connect to a c-lightning node. Use JLightning Library created by Rene Pickhardt.

All the credits for Rene. The supported version of c-lightning is v0.7.0-1-g0631490.

The project can be run as a standalone application or as a simplified interface on top of the c-lightning that facilitates and exposes lightning functionalities to client applications.

Dependencies

JLightning uses Junixsocket. A Java/JNI library that allows the use of Unix Domain Sockets (AF_UNIX sockets) from Java.

Using JLightning Client

Creates an http server that exposes certain methods accessible by any client such as CURL and receives as a parameter the path to the rpc file of c-lightning

ubuntu@vmi214216:/var/www/$ java JHttp /home/ubuntu/.lightning/lightning-rpc
