The AAS Java Dataformat Library is a collection of software modules to serialize and deserialze instances of the Asset Administration Shell from and to Java instances. De-/serialization works according to the dataformat schemas published in the document 'Details of the Asset Administration Shell', published on www.plattform-i40.de.

Some examples can be found on the documentation webpage.

You can build the project using Maven by simply executing at the repository root:

mvn clean package

or by integrating the respective modules as dependencies from Maven Central Repository, for instance:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.admin-shell.aas</groupId>
  <artifactId>dataformat-json</artifactId>
  <version>latest-version</version>
<dependency>

The project contains several modules:

• dataformat-parent Maven parent module that contains the respective de-/serializers for the different data formats.
• dataformat-core Location of the general classes and interfaces that are used by more than one de-/serializer.
• dataformat-aasx AASX de-/serializer
• dataformat-json JSON de-/serializer
• dataformat-rdf RDF de-/serializer
• dataformat-xml XML de-/serializer
• dataformat-uanodeset OPC UA I4AAS NodeSet de-/serializer
• dataformat-aml AutomationML serializer (deserializer is currently under development)

Additionally, the sources that are used for generating the static documentation using DocFX in the gh-pages branch are located in the docs folder.

We always look for contributions, bug reports, feature requests etc. Simply open an issue or - even better - directly propose a change through a pull request.

This project was initiated by SAP and Fraunhofer to provide a foundation for the AAS development and to foster its dissemination.
