What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of ensuring backward compatibility and identifying breaking changes when updating Java libraries, preventing unexpected runtime errors and simplifying API evolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Comparison: Compares method signatures, class definitions, and interface changes between two versions of Java libraries.
  • Breaking Change Detection: Identifies removed APIs, incompatible signature modifications, and parameter count changes.
  • Detailed Reporting: Generates a JSON report categorizing issues into breaking changes, warnings, and informational messages, including migration guidance.
  • Use Case: Before upgrading a core Java library in a large project, use this skill to automatically scan for any API incompatibilities introduced in the new version, allowing developers to proactively address them.

Quick Start

Validate the API consistency between the old and new versions of a Java library by running the validation script with their respective paths.
