This library provides Java bindings for the H3 Core Library. For API reference, please see the H3 Documentation.

Add it to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.uber</groupId>
    <artifactId>h3</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Or, using Gradle:

compile("com.uber:h3:3.0.3")

Encode a location into a hexagon address:

H3Core h3 = H3Core.newInstance();

double lat = 37.775938728915946;
double lng = -122.41795063018799;
int res = 9;

String hexAddr = h3.geoToH3Address(lat, lng, res);

Decode a hexagon address into coordinates:

List<GeoCoord> geoCoords = h3.h3ToGeoBoundary(hexAddr);

H3-Java provides bindings to the H3 library, which is written in C. The built artifact supports the following:

You may be able to build H3-Java locally if you need to use an operating system or architecture not listed above.

Building the library requires a JDK, Maven, CMake, and a C compiler. To install to your local Maven cache, run:

mvn install

To build the library, run:

mvn package

Additional information on how the build process works is available in the build process documentaiton.

To build Javadocs documentation:

mvn site

Then open the file target/site/apidocs/index.html.

To run benchmarks, either execute them from IntelliJ or run the following from shell: (Replace the class name as needed)

mvn exec:exec -Dexec.executable="java" -Dexec.args="-classpath %classpath com.uber.h3core.benchmarking.H3CoreBenchmark" -Dexec.classpathScope="test"
