mikrotik-java
=============
A Java client library implementation for the Mikrotik RouterOS API.
This project provides a Java client to manipulate Mikrotik routers using the remote API. Simple things must be easy to do, and complex things must be possible.
Versions
--------
The current stable version is 1.0. The master branch is on version 1.1, which is the currently being tested and will be released soon.
Version 1.1 will add:
* TLS (SSL) support to encrypt API traffic.
Examples
========
Here is a simple example: Connect to a router and reboot it.
```java
ApiConnection con = ApiConnection.connect("10.0.1.1"); // connect to router
con.login("admin","password"); // log in to router
con.execute("/system/reboot"); // execute a command
con.disconnect(); // disconnect from router
```
A simple example that returns a result: Print all interfaces.
```java
List<Map<String, String>> rs = con.execute("/interface/print");
for (Map<String,String> r : rs) {
System.out.println(r);
}
```
The same query, but with the results filtered: Print all interfaces of type 'vlan'.
```java
List<Map<String, String>> rs = con.execute("/interface/print where type=vlan");
```
The same query, but we only want certain result fields names Print all interfaces of type 'vlan' and return their name.
```java
List<Map<String, String>> rs = con.execute("/interface/print where type=vlan return name");
```
We can run asynchrynous commands:
This example shows how to run '/interface wireless monitor' and have the result sent to a listener object, which prints it
```java
String tag = con.execute("/interface/wireless/monitor .id=wlan1 return signal-to-noise",
new ResultListener() {
public void receive(Map<String, String> result) {
System.out.println(result);
}
}
);
```
The above command will run and send results asynchrynously as they become available, until it is canceled. The command (identified by the unique String retruned)
is cancelled like this:
```java
con.cancel(tag);
```
