How To Use

The library is designed to produce events and people updates in one process or thread, and consume the events and people updates in another thread or process. Specially formatted JSON objects are built by MessageBuilder objects, and those messages can be consumed by the MixpanelAPI via ClientDelivery objects, possibly after serialization or IPC.

MessageBuilder messages = new MessageBuilder("my token");
JSONObject event = messages.event("joe@gribbl.com", "Logged In", null);

// Later, or elsewhere...
ClientDelivery delivery = new ClientDelivery();
delivery.addMessage(event);

MixpanelAPI mixpanel = new MixpanelAPI();
mixpanel.deliver(delivery);
