Java ANSI text colorizer

Description

Very simple Java library that modifies Strings in the way they are colored when printed to terminal. It uses ANSI codes to do the job.

Tested with OSes:

• Linux - different distributions
• MacOS
• Windows 10 and 11 (in Windows 10 coloring is off)

Installation

The compiled libraries are deployed to Maven Central.

Usage with maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.kamilszewc</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-ansi-text-colorizer</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
</dependency>

Usage with gradle:

implementation 'io.github.kamilszewc:java-ansi-text-colorizer:1.4'

Usage

Currently, there are two static methods that can be used to color text or background printed to terminal

1. Text example:

   System.out.println(Colorizer.color("Some text", Colorizer.Color.RED));

   will print the text in red color.

2. Backgound example:

   System.out.println(Colorizer.color("Some text", Colorizer.BackgroundColor.RED));

   will print the background in red color.
