Vocabulary-lookup

This model is a utility to do lookups in a vocabulary. This library is intended to be as small as possible and with the least number of dependencies possible. This way it's easy to integrate it in other projects and avoid classpath problems.

To use this library you have to create a VocabularyLookup instance and load the vocabulary. There are 2 ways to do it:

  1. Pass an InputStream of the exported vocabulary in json format.
VocabularyLookup vocabularyLookup = VocabularyLookup.load(new FileInputStream("my-vocabulary.json"));
  1. Let the library download the latest version of the vocabulary:
VocabularyLookup vocabularyLookup = VocabularyDownloader.downloadLatestVocabularyVersion("http://api.gbif-dev.org/v1/", "LifeStage");

Once we have our instance created we can invoke the lookup method:

Optional<Concept> concept = vocabularyLookup.lookup("Adult");

As we can see, it returns an Optional object wich will be empty when we can't find a match for the received value.
