# Hummingbird
### Java implementation of Uniform Resources (UR)
Hummingbird is a Java implementation of the [Uniform Resources (UR)](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Research/blob/master/papers/bcr-2020-005-ur.md) specification.
It is a direct port of the [URKit](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/URKit) implementation by Wolf McNally.
It contains both the classes to represent a UR, and a UR encoder and decoder to encode and decode to/from the QR representations.
## Setup
Hummingbird is hosted in Maven Central and can be added as a dependency with the following:
```
implementation('com.sparrowwallet:hummingbird:1.1')
```
## Usage
Decoding a UR can be done as follows (here decoding a ``crypto-psbt`` UR type):
```java
URDecoder decoder = new URDecoder();
while(decoder.getResult() == null) {
//Loop adding QR fragments to the decoder until it has a result
String qrText = getFromNextQR();
decoder.receivePart(qrText);
}
URDecoder.Result urResult = decoder.getResult();
if(urResult.type == ResultType.SUCCESS) {
if(urResult.ur.getType().equals(UR.CRYPTO_PSBT_TYPE)) {
byte[] psbt = urResult.ur.toBytes();
}
}
```
Encoding a UR:
```java
final int MIN_FRAGMENT_LENGTH = 10;
final int MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH = 100;
String type = UR.BYTES_TYPE;
UR ur = UR.fromBytes(type, data);
UREncoder encoder = new UREncoder(ur, MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH, MIN_FRAGMENT_LENGTH, 0);
while(true) {
String fragment = encoder.nextPart();
//Show UR fragment as QR code...
}
```
## Testing
Hummingbird has a thorough testsuite ported from URKit. The tests can be run with:
```
./gradlew test
```
