# Turso JDBC Driver The Turso JDBC driver is a library for accessing and creating Turso database files using Java. ## Project Status The project is actively developed. Feel free to open issues and contribute. To view related works, visit this [issue](https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/issues/615). ## How to use Currently, we have not published to the maven central. Instead, you can locally build the jar and deploy it to maven local to use it. ### Build jar and publish to maven local ```shell $ cd bindings/java # Please select the appropriate target platform, currently supports `macos_x86`, `macos_arm64`, `windows` and `linux_x86` $ make macos_x86 # deploy to maven local $ make publish_local ``` Now you can use the dependency as follows: ```kotlin dependencies { implementation("tech.turso:turso:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT") } ``` ## Code style - Favor composition over inheritance. For example, `JDBC4Connection` doesn't implement `TursoConnection`. Instead, it includes `TursoConnection` as a field. This approach allows us to preserve the characteristics of Turso using `TursoConnection` easily while maintaining interoperability with the Java world using `JDBC4Connection`.
