## Introduction

OnixByte Toolbox is a Development Kit for Java applications that provides a set of convenient, reusable tools for writing code efficiently. It is designed and maintained by OnixByte as a monorepo containing multiple purpose-built libraries, each addressing a specific development need — from common utilities and cryptography to mathematical computation and identity generation.

The toolkit is available on Maven Central under the `com.onixbyte` group ID. Each module is independently versioned and can be included in any Java 17+ project.

## Modules

| Module             | Artifact ID          | Description                                                               |
|--------------------|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Common Toolbox     | `common-toolbox`     | Everyday utilities — AES, hashing, Base64, collections, branching, ranges |
| Crypto Toolbox     | `crypto-toolbox`     | Public/private key loading for RSA and ECDSA algorithms                   |
| Math Toolbox       | `math-toolbox`       | Statistical calculation, percentile analysis, quartile computation        |
| Tuple              | `tuple`              | Generic 2-tuple and 3-tuple with immutable variants                       |
| Identity Generator | `identity-generator` | Snowflake-style and sequential UUID identity generation                   |
| Version Catalogue  | `version-catalogue`  | Centralised Gradle version catalogue for OnixByte projects                |

## Installation

Add the desired module as a dependency in your build config:

<Tabs>

    ```kotlin title="build.gradle.kts"
    dependencies {
      implementation("com.onixbyte:$artefactId:$version")
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab label="Maven">
    ```xml title="pom.xml"
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.onixbyte</groupId>
      <artifactId>${artefactId}</artifactId>
      <version>${version}</version>
    </dependency>
    ```
