The Apache Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters,
file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more.

Documentation
-------------

More information can be found on the [Apache Commons IO homepage](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io).
The [Javadoc](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/apidocs) can be browsed.
Questions related to the usage of Apache Commons IO should be posted to the [user mailing list][ml].

Getting the latest release
--------------------------
You can download source and binaries from our [download page](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi).

Alternatively, you can pull it from  the central Maven repositories:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
  <version>2.15.0</version>
</dependency>
```

Building
--------

Building requires a Java JDK and [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/).
The required Java version is found in the `pom.xml` as the `maven.compiler.source` property.

From a command shell, run `mvn` without arguments to invoke the default Maven goal to run all tests and checks.

Contributing
------------

We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) is the main channel of communication for contributors.
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
+ No tabs! Please use spaces for indentation.
+ Respect the existing code style for each file.
+ Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change.
+ Provide JUnit tests for your changes and make sure your changes don't break any existing tests by running ```mvn```.

If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas).
