It's basically a\nSelenium-WebDriver wrapper inspired by Geb.\n\n## Status: [Abandonware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware)❗\n\nSince I wrote Balin a couple of years ago, I have not had the opportunity to\nwork under Kotlin's umbrella, much less use Balin itself. Thus, time has passed\nand the library has gotten dust, cobwebs and the like. Be aware of the fact the\ndependencies are already quite outdated and it's quite probable I'm not gonna be\naround updating dependencies or fixing unit tests. You're more than welcome to\npeek around and even use Balin, but there's no garantes of this library\nkeeping up-to-date for modern developing/use. Heck, even JCenter doesn't exist\nanymore at this point.\n\n## Rationale\n\nGeb is a wonderful library that allows its users exploit the power of the\nSelenium-WebDriver API with incredible ease. As a software developer who spends\na lot of time working with browser automation, I've been lucky enough to work\nwith Geb and am now learning Kotlin. I'm taking this chance to learn this new\nJVM-based language and to contribute to its ecosystem a tool that's very useful\nto me.\n\n## Usage\n\nIf you're curious about how to use this library, you can check out the\n[following examples](src/test/kotlin/com/github/epadronu/balin/examples)\n\n### Templates\n\nThe [Balin-Cucumber-TestNg-Allure](https://github.com/EPadronU/Balin-Cucumber-TestNg-Allure)\ntemplate can be of help in order to avoid the boilerplate required for Balin's\nintegration with the most common frameworks used in software testing.\n\n\n## Documentation\n\nJavaDoc and KDoc versions of Balin's API documentation can be found in the\nfollowing locations:\n\n- [Java API](https://epadronu.github.io/balin/java/api/index.html)\n- [Kotlin API](https://epadronu.github.io/balin/kotlin/api/balin/index.html)\n\n\n## Build system \u0026 framework integrations\n\n### Maven\n\n```xml\n\u003cdependencies\u003e\n  \u003cdependency\u003e\n    \u003cgroupId\u003ecom.github.epadronu\u003c/groupId\u003e\n    \u003cartifactId\u003ebalin\u003c/artifactId\u003e\n    \u003cversion\u003e0.4.2\u003c/version\u003e\n    \u003ctype\u003epom\u003c/type\u003e\n  \u003c/dependency\u003e\n\u003c/dependencies\u003e\n```\n\n### Gradle\n\n```groovy\ndependencies {\n  compile 'com.github.epadronu:balin:0.4.2'\n}\n\nrepositories {\n  jcenter()\n}\n```\n\n\n## Note\n\nThis project has been conceived for research purposes but I don't dismiss the\npossibility of making it a production-ready library if it gets to that point.\n\n## License\n\nLike Kotlin, _Balin_ is released under version 2.0 of the [Apache License](LICENSE.md).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fepadronu%2Fbalin","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fepadronu%2Fbalin","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fepadronu%2Fbalin/lists"}
