Lyrics.java

A very simple lyrics client based on YouTube and Lyrics.Kt

Differences from Lyrics.kt

The biggest difference between this version and the kotlin version is the filesize. At the time of writing, lyrics.kt plugin is about 696 KiB in size, while this plugin is about 34 KiB in size. A massive reduction.

The second difference is the search endpoint. Instead of putting the query into the path of the url, this plugin opted to use query parameters for it. Making the endpoint more restfull.

Using in your clients

This plugin comes with a protocol library that allows you to use jackson for deserialization of the JSON. You can include the library as follows with gradle:

repositories {
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    implementation(group = "com.github.DuncteBot.java-timed-lyrics", name = "protocol", version = "x.y.x")
}

replace x.y.x with this version:
