opensaml-addons

Utility extensions for OpenSAML.

---

This open source package is an extension to OpenSAML that offers utility classes and interfaces such as:

• Utility methods for creating OpenSAML objects that does not require using the builder classes directly.
• Utility methods for marshalling and unmarshalling.
• Simplified support for signing XML objects.
• An abstraction for metadata handling making it easier to download and use SAML metadata.
• A builder pattern for some commonly used objects, such as creating SAML attribute objects, entity descriptors (metadata) or authentication requests.
• A framework for validation of responses and assertions.

Java API documentation of the opensaml-addons library is found at https://docs.swedenconnect.se/opensaml-addons/apidoc.
